• Outside diameter: 300.000 mm; overall height: 58.300 mm
• 5-lug pattern with 114.300 mm bolt circle and 71.200 mm center hole
• Application-specific metallurgy matched to OEM-style carbon alloy profiles
• Rear brake rotor for Ford Explorer Sport Trac and Ford Explorer Sport fitment

Product Details

Centric’s GCX line focuses on OE-style fitment, metallurgy, and corrosion protection. This rotor is engineered for the rear position on 2003-2005 Ford Explorer Sport Trac and 2003 Ford Explorer Sport models, with a coated hat and fully coated disc finish to help reduce surface rust on non-friction areas. The part number 320.65096F is part of Centric’s GCX Elemental Protection Disc Brake Rotors - Full Coating line, which uses coating patterns selected to complement brake pad friction characteristics and vehicle-specific rotor construction.

This part cross-references 3L2Z2C026AA and 4U2Z1V125BA for the same application.

What This Rotor Helps Address

• Rear brake pulsation caused by worn or below-spec rotor surfaces
• Rust buildup on exposed rotor areas and hat surfaces
• Brake noise related to uneven or degraded rotor finish
• Reduced braking consistency from rotor thickness wear
• OE replacement needs for Ford Explorer Sport Trac rear brake service

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify rear axle fitment, rotor dimensions, and lug pattern before installation. Clean the hub mounting surface thoroughly so the rotor seats flat and runs true. Inspect pads, calipers, and hardware condition during service, and measure rotor thickness after installation to confirm it remains within specification. For best results, follow the vehicle manufacturer’s brake bedding procedure.

Quality Assurance

Centric designs GCX rotors to match OE performance targets while using corrosion-resistant coatings and application-specific metallurgy. Part number 320.65096F is built for consistent rear brake service on the listed Ford applications.
