Product Details

Centric GCX Elemental Protection Disc Brake Rotors - Full Coating are built for drivers who need a front rotor with corrosion-resistant surface treatment and OE-style dimensions. This rotor measures 108.000 mm overall height, 63.700 mm center hole diameter, and uses a 5-hole, 114.300 mm bolt circle. It is listed for 1995-1997 Ford Ranger front brake service, as well as 1995-1997 Mazda B2300, B3000, and B4000 front applications. The part number 320.65048F is also a useful reference when verifying the correct front rotor for these vehicles.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Common Issues This Rotor Can Address

• Front brake pulsation from worn or uneven rotor surfaces
• Corrosion on exposed rotor areas
• Brake noise caused by surface irregularity
• Reduced braking consistency from rotor wear
• Fitment concerns when replacing a front rotor on Ranger or Mazda B-Series trucks

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify rotor dimensions, hub fitment, and ABS tone ring alignment before installation. Clean the hub mounting surface thoroughly, inspect pads and caliper hardware for wear, and confirm the rotor meets minimum thickness requirements before service. For 1995-1997 Ford Ranger and Mazda B2300, B3000, or B4000 front brake work, match the rotor to the vehicle’s front position and confirm the part number 320.65048F against the existing component.

Quality Assurance

Centric GCX rotors are engineered with coated surfaces and OE-style specifications to support consistent brake service and corrosion resistance on exposed areas. The fully coated finish, coated hat, and included ABS tone ring reflect a design focused on fitment accuracy and long-term serviceability.
