Centric 320.65097F Disc Brake Rotor - Front

Centric GCX Front Brake Rotor Overview

The Centric GCX Elemental Protection Disc Brake Rotor, part number 320.65097F, is a front vented rotor built for OE-style braking performance and corrosion resistance. It is a fitment-specific replacement for select Ford Expedition and Lincoln Navigator models, including 2002 and 2003-2006 applications.

Centric’s GCX Full Coating line uses an RS200 protective finish on non-mating surfaces to help resist rust while maintaining a clean appearance over time. The rotor also uses application-specific metallurgy and coating patterns to match the brake pad friction type and OEM rotor profile.

Product Line Details

Centric GCX Elemental Protection Disc Brake Rotors are engineered as OE-style replacements with a focus on fit, metallurgy, and surface protection. The GCX Full Coating version is intended for drivers who want a rotor that matches factory braking characteristics while adding coverage on exposed surfaces to help reduce rust and corrosion.

Detailed Description

This Centric GCX rotor is built with a 12.992-inch outside diameter, 1.181-inch nominal thickness, and 1.063-inch discard thickness. It uses a 3.551-inch center hole diameter, 5.315-inch bolt circle, and 0.630-inch lug holes. For front brake service on a Ford Expedition or Lincoln Navigator, part number 320.65097F provides a direct replacement option with the dimensions and construction needed for the listed applications.

This part cross-references Raybestos Brakes 680105FZN for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Front brake rotor rust on exposed surfaces
• Brake pulsation caused by worn or out-of-spec rotors
• Reduced braking consistency from heat-worn rotor surfaces
• Uneven appearance from corrosion on the hat and non-mating areas
• OE replacement needs for Ford Expedition and Lincoln Navigator front brake service

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify rotor dimensions, hub fitment, and lug pattern before installation. Clean the hub mounting surface thoroughly to help prevent runout-related brake noise or pedal vibration. Because this rotor is vented and floating-mounted, it should be installed on the correct front axle position for the listed vehicles only.

Fits 2002 Ford Expedition, front; fits 2003-2006 Ford Expedition, front; fits 2002 Lincoln Navigator, front; fits 2003-2006 Lincoln Navigator, front.

Quality Assurance

Centric designs GCX rotors to match OE performance targets and vehicle-specific metallurgy requirements. The coated finish on non-mating surfaces supports long-term corrosion resistance and helps maintain rotor appearance during normal service life.
