Product Details

The Centric GCX Elemental Protection Disc Brake Rotors - Full Coating line focuses on corrosion protection across the rotor’s exposed surfaces, including the disc and hat areas. This rotor uses a vented construction with straight vane internal geometry and a smooth braking surface, making it a direct-fit front rotor choice for the listed Ford Escape, Mercury Mariner, and Mazda Tribute vehicles. Part number 320.65089F is sized at 278.0 mm outside diameter with a 72.0 mm center hole diameter and 5 stud/lug holes.

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

Common Brake Issues This Rotor Can Address

• Front brake rotor wear that has reached discard thickness
• Corrosion on the rotor hat or exposed braking surfaces
• Brake pulsation caused by uneven rotor condition
• Reduced braking consistency from worn front rotors
• Noise or vibration associated with deteriorated rotor surfaces

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify rotor dimensions, bolt pattern, and hub fitment before installation. Clean the hub mounting surface thoroughly so the rotor seats flat, and inspect pads, calipers, and hardware condition during brake service. Because this is a front vented rotor, confirm left/right front application details against the vehicle’s brake system requirements before assembly.

Quality Assurance

Centric GCX Elemental Protection rotors are engineered with coated surfaces to help maintain appearance and resist corrosion in service. Part number 320.65089F is listed for confirmed front fitment on 2001-2007 Ford Escape, 2005-2007 Mercury Mariner, and 2001-2006 Mazda Tribute applications, including the 2003 Ford Escape built to 12/03.
