Detailed Product Description

The DuraGo BR34101-01 disc brake rotor is constructed from full cast iron, providing a solid and durable braking surface. Its vented design enhances heat dissipation, which helps maintain braking efficiency during extended use. The rotor features a rust resistant coating that protects against corrosion, making it suitable for various weather conditions. With a nominal thickness of 1.08 inches and a discard thickness of 1 inch, this rotor meets precise specifications to ensure safe and effective braking performance. The 11.81 inch outside diameter and 1.83 inch overall height are engineered to fit specific Chrysler and Mercedes-Benz vehicles, including models such as the C230, C240, C280, C320, C350, CLK320, CLK350, CLK430, Crossfire, E300, E320, E420, E430, SLK280, SLK300, and SLK320.

Compatible Vehicles and Applications

• Chrysler Crossfire
• Mercedes-Benz C230, C240, C280, C320, C350
• Mercedes-Benz CLK320, CLK350, CLK430
• Mercedes-Benz E300, E320, E420, E430
• Mercedes-Benz SLK280, SLK300, SLK320

This rotor is designed for use in conventional braking systems without ABS tone rings and is non-directional, allowing for flexible installation.

Common Issues Addressed by This Rotor

• Brake pulsation caused by warped rotors
• Reduced braking efficiency due to worn or thin rotors
• Corrosion and rust buildup on braking surfaces
• Overheating and brake fade during heavy braking
• Uneven brake pad wear resulting from rotor surface irregularities

Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure the rotor surface is clean and free of debris before installation. Verify the rotor thickness is above the discard thickness of 1 inch (25.4 mm) to maintain safety standards. Use proper torque specifications for the five mounting bolts on the 4.41 inch (112 mm) bolt circle. Since this rotor is non-directional, it can be installed on either side of the vehicle without concern for rotation direction.
