Detailed Product Description

The DuraGo BR31052 is a full cast, vented disc brake rotor constructed from cast iron, providing a balance of durability and thermal management. Its vented design allows air to flow between the rotor surfaces, reducing heat buildup during braking and helping to maintain consistent brake performance. The rotor measures 10.16 inches in outside diameter and features a nominal thickness of 0.94 inches, with a discard thickness of 0.87 inches, indicating when replacement is necessary to maintain safety and performance. This rotor is designed with five mounting bolt holes spaced on a 4.5 inch bolt circle diameter, compatible with specific Ford and Mazda models. The non-directional brake surface allows for flexible installation without concern for rotor orientation.

Compatible Vehicles and Applications

This disc brake rotor is compatible with various Ford and Mazda vehicles, including:

• Ford Probe
• Mazda 626
• Mazda MX-6
• Mazda Protege
• Mazda Protege5

It is intended for use in front or rear disc brake systems where a conventional, vented rotor is specified.

Common Issues Addressed by DuraGo BR31052

• Brake rotor warping causing vibration during braking
• Excessive rotor wear reducing braking efficiency
• Overheating of brake components leading to fade
• Corrosion-related rotor surface degradation (note: this rotor does not have rust-resistant coating)
• Uneven brake pad wear due to rotor surface irregularities

Installation Notes and Tips

• Ensure rotor thickness is above discard thickness (0.87 inches) before installation
• Clean mounting surfaces to prevent rotor runout
• Torque mounting bolts to manufacturer specifications for secure fitment
• Check compatibility with vehicle ABS systems; this rotor does not include an ABS tone ring
• Inspect brake pads and replace if worn to ensure optimal rotor performance
