Detailed Product Description

The DuraGo BR31042 disc brake rotor is constructed from full cast iron, providing a balance of durability and effective heat dissipation. Its vented design allows air to flow between the rotor surfaces, helping to maintain optimal operating temperatures during braking. With a nominal thickness of 0.94 inches (24 mm) and a discard thickness of 0.87 inches (22 mm), this rotor meets the specifications required for safe and efficient braking on Subaru Impreza and Legacy vehicles. The rotor measures 10.24 inches (260 mm) in outside diameter and features five mounting bolt holes arranged on a 3.94 inch (100 mm) bolt circle diameter, ensuring proper fitment and secure installation. The non-directional brake surface allows for flexible mounting without concern for rotor orientation.

Compatible Vehicles and Applications

This DuraGo disc brake rotor is compatible with the following Subaru models:

• Subaru Impreza
• Subaru Legacy

It is designed to replace worn or damaged rotors, restoring braking performance and safety.

Common Issues Addressed by DuraGo BR31042

• Brake pulsation or vibration caused by warped rotors
• Reduced braking efficiency due to worn rotor thickness
• Overheating and brake fade from insufficient rotor cooling
• Uneven brake pad wear linked to rotor surface irregularities
• Noise or squealing related to rotor surface damage

Installation Notes and Tips

• Ensure the rotor thickness is above the discard thickness of 0.87 inches (22 mm) before installation
• Clean the rotor surface to remove any protective coatings or contaminants prior to mounting
• Torque mounting bolts to manufacturer specifications to avoid rotor warping
• Inspect brake pads and replace if worn to maintain optimal braking performance
• Check wheel bearings and hub assembly for wear during rotor replacement
