Centric 320.65073F Disc Brake Rotor - Front

Centric GCX Front Brake Rotor Overview

The Centric GCX Elemental Protection Disc Brake Rotor - Full Coating is built for front brake service on select Ford heavy-duty trucks and SUVs. Part number 320.65073F is engineered to match OE performance while adding coated protection on non-mating surfaces to help resist rust and corrosion.

Compatible With 1999-2002 Ford F-250 Super Duty, front; 1999-2002 Ford F-350 Super Duty, front; and 2000-2002 Ford Excursion, front. This rotor uses a vented design, smooth surface, coated hat finish, and ABS tone ring included for the listed applications.

• Fits Ford Excursion, Ford F-250 Super Duty, and Ford F-350 Super Duty front brake positions

Product Details

Centric’s GCX line is built around vehicle-specific rotor metallurgy and coating patterns that align with brake pad friction needs. For this application, the rotor is a vented front disc with an outside diameter of 331.0 mm (13.031 in), nominal thickness of 38.0 mm (1.496 in), discard thickness of 36.0 mm (1.417 in), and an overall height of 143.6 mm (5.654 in). Additional dimensions include a center hole diameter of 124.0 mm (4.882 in), a 170.0 mm (6.693 in) bolt circle, and 8 lug holes.

The 320.65073F is a direct-fit front rotor for 1999-2002 Ford F-250 Super Duty, 1999-2002 Ford F-350 Super Duty, and 2000-2002 Ford Excursion applications listed above. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What This Rotor Helps Address

• Front brake pulsation caused by worn or out-of-spec rotors
• Rust buildup on exposed rotor surfaces and hat areas
• Reduced braking consistency from uneven rotor wear
• Brake noise related to poor rotor surface condition
• Fitment issues on listed Ford heavy-duty front brake applications

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle’s year, model, and front brake configuration before installation. Confirm the rotor dimensions, 8-lug pattern, and ABS tone ring requirement against the existing part to ensure the correct application for your Ford F-250 Super Duty, F-350 Super Duty, or Excursion. Clean the hub mounting surface thoroughly before installing the rotor to help prevent runout and uneven pad contact.

For best results, inspect brake pads, calipers, and wheel bearings during rotor replacement. If the existing braking system shows scoring, pulsation, or corrosion, replace worn companion components as needed to restore proper front brake performance.

Quality Assurance

Centric GCX rotors are manufactured to match OE-style performance targets and use coated non-mating surfaces to improve corrosion protection over time. The rotor metallurgy is application-specific for the listed Ford fitments, supporting consistent fit and function in front brake service.
