Centric 320.65082F Disc Brake Rotor - Front

Centric GCX Front Brake Rotor for Ranger and Explorer Sport Trac

Centric GCX Elemental Protection Disc Brake Rotor, part number 320.65082F, is built for front brake service on select Ford and Mazda trucks and SUVs. It combines OE-style fitment with a fully coated finish to help resist rust on exposed surfaces while maintaining the braking surface needed for consistent pad contact.

Key Features

• Fully coated disc finish with Centric RS200 protection on non-mating surfaces
• Vented rotor design with straight vanes for front axle brake cooling
• 12.008 in. outside diameter and 1.024 in. nominal thickness
• Floating disc mounting with 5 lug holes and 114.3 mm bolt circle
• Coated hat finish for added corrosion resistance and cleaner appearance
• Application-specific metallurgy matched to OEM-style rotor requirements

Product Details

Centric’s GCX Elemental Protection line is engineered around vehicle-specific metallurgy and coating patterns so the rotor matches the brake pad friction type and the original equipment profile. Part number 320.65082F uses a vented, straight-vane construction with a smooth surface type, 72.0 mm center hole diameter, and 66.3 mm overall height. The fully coated finish helps protect the rotor hat and non-friction areas from rust, which is especially useful on daily-driven Ford Ranger, Mazda B4000, and Ford Explorer Sport Trac front brake setups.

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

Common Brake Issues This Rotor Can Address

• Rust buildup on exposed rotor surfaces
• Brake pulsation caused by worn or uneven rotors
• Reduced braking consistency from heat-stressed front rotors
• Unsightly corrosion on the hat and non-mating areas
• Noise or vibration linked to rotor wear beyond discard thickness

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify rotor dimensions, hub fit, and front axle application before installation. Inspect pads, calipers, and hub surfaces for wear or corrosion, and replace or service related components as needed to restore proper braking performance. Always confirm discard thickness and compare the new rotor to the removed part before assembly.

Quality Assurance

Centric GCX rotors are built to OE-style specifications with corrosion-resistant coating and metallurgy selected for the listed applications. The design focuses on fit, finish, and long-term surface protection for Ford Ranger, Mazda B4000, Ford Explorer Sport Trac, Mazda B3000, and Ford Explorer Sport front brake service.
