Centric 320.65052F Disc Brake Rotor - Rear

Centric GCX Rear Brake Rotor Protection

The Centric GCX Elemental Protection Disc Brake Rotor with full coating is built for rear brake service on select Ford and Mercury applications. Part number 320.65052F uses a fully coated finish to help resist rust on non-mating surfaces while matching OE-style performance and fit.

Compatible with 1995-2001 Ford Explorer rear, 1998-2002 Ford Ranger rear, 2001-2002 Ford Explorer Sport rear, and 1997-2001 Mercury Mountaineer rear, this rotor is a direct-fit option for drivers searching for a rear brake rotor for Ford Explorer, Ranger, or Mountaineer applications. The 320.65052F is part of Centric’s GCX FC line, which focuses on application-specific coating patterns and metallurgy matched to OEM-style brake requirements.

GCX Elemental Protection Line

Centric GCX and GCX FC rotors are engineered to align with OE performance expectations while adding corrosion protection through Centric’s RS200 finish on non-mating surfaces. The GCX line also uses application-specific coating patterns and metallurgy selections to match the brake pad friction type and the vehicle’s OEM-style rotor profile. Part number 320.65052F reflects that approach for rear brake service on the listed Ford and Mercury vehicles.

What This Rotor Helps Address

• Rear brake rotor rust on exposed surfaces
• Corrosion buildup that can affect rotor appearance over time
• Brake pulsation caused by worn or below-spec rear rotors
• Noise or uneven braking linked to rotor wear
• Replacement needs for rear brake service on Ford Explorer, Ranger, Explorer Sport, and Mercury Mountaineer models

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify rotor dimensions, hub fit, and rear axle application before installation. Clean the hub mounting surface thoroughly to help prevent runout-related issues, and inspect pads, calipers, and hardware condition during brake service. For best results, follow the vehicle manufacturer’s service procedures and bedding recommendations after installation of the 320.65052F rotor.

Quality Assurance

Centric designs GCX rotors to match OE-style performance targets while using corrosion-resistant coatings and vehicle-specific metallurgy. This part cross-references Centric GCX application-specific rear rotor requirements for the same application.
