Technical Details and Construction

The DuraGo BR31316-01 rotor is constructed from cast iron, a material known for its excellent heat dissipation and wear resistance, which helps maintain braking efficiency under demanding conditions. The full cast construction ensures uniform strength throughout the rotor, reducing the risk of warping. A rust-resistant coating is applied to the rotor surface to minimize corrosion, which is especially beneficial in humid or wet environments. This rotor features a solid, non-directional braking surface, suitable for standard braking applications without the need for specialized directional patterns or cross-drilling.

Compatible Vehicles and Applications

This disc brake rotor is specifically designed for use on Acura and Honda vehicles, including the Element and TL models. It is a direct replacement part that meets OEM specifications, ensuring proper fit and function. The drum-in-hat design integrates the parking brake mechanism, making it suitable for vehicles equipped with drum-in-hat rear brake systems.

• Replaces worn or warped rotors causing brake pulsation or noise
• Restores braking performance affected by rotor thickness below discard limits
• Addresses corrosion-related rotor surface degradation
• Improves braking consistency on Acura Element and Honda TL models
• Suitable for routine maintenance or brake system overhaul

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the DuraGo BR31316-01 rotor, ensure the mounting surface is clean and free of debris to promote proper rotor seating. Verify that the rotor thickness meets or exceeds the nominal thickness of 9 mm and is above the discard thickness of 7.5 mm. Use the correct torque specifications for the 5 mounting bolts with a 114.3 mm bolt circle diameter. Since this rotor does not include an ABS tone ring, confirm compatibility with your vehicle’s ABS system if applicable.
