Detailed Product Description

The DuraGo BR31289 disc brake rotor is a full cast iron rotor designed to meet the braking demands of Suzuki Grand Vitara and XL-7 vehicles. Its vented construction allows for enhanced heat dissipation, reducing the risk of brake fade during extended use. With a nominal thickness of 0.87 inches (22 mm) and a discard thickness of 0.79 inches (20 mm), this rotor provides a balance between durability and performance. The rotor features a 12.2-inch (310 mm) outside diameter and a 1.14 inch (29 mm) overall height, ensuring proper fitment and compatibility. The 5 mounting bolt holes with a 0.5 inch (12.8 mm) diameter and a 5.5 inch (139.7 mm) bolt circle diameter align precisely with the Suzuki Grand Vitara and XL-7 brake assemblies. This rotor does not include an ABS tone ring and has a non-directional brake surface, allowing for straightforward installation without orientation concerns.

Common Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or warped rotors causing brake pulsation
• Addressing reduced braking efficiency due to rotor thickness below discard limits
• Eliminating noise and vibration from uneven rotor surfaces
• Upgrading to a vented rotor for improved heat management
• Ensuring proper fitment for Suzuki Grand Vitara and XL-7 brake systems

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the DuraGo BR31289 rotor, ensure the mounting surface is clean and free of rust or debris to promote proper seating. Verify rotor thickness before installation to confirm it meets or exceeds the nominal thickness of 0.87 inches (22 mm). Since this rotor is non-directional, it can be installed on either side without concern for rotation direction. Use the correct torque specifications for the 5 mounting bolts to avoid warping. It is recommended to replace brake pads simultaneously to maintain optimal braking performance.

Quality Assurance and Warranty

DuraGo manufactures the BR31289 rotor with cast iron material and full cast construction to meet industry standards for durability and performance. While this rotor does not feature a rust-resistant coating, proper maintenance can help extend its service life. Warranty coverage details should be confirmed with the point of purchase or manufacturer documentation to ensure protection against defects.
