• Vented rotor design to improve cooling and reduce brake fade
• Nominal thickness of 1.08 inches (27.5 mm) with discard thickness at 1 inch (25.4 mm)
• Overall height of 1.83 inches (46.5 mm) and outside diameter of 11.81 inches (300 mm)
• Five mounting bolt holes with a 4.41 inch (112 mm) bolt circle diameter
• Non-directional brake surface suitable for conventional braking systems
• Compatible with ABS systems (ABS tone ring not included)

Detailed Product Description

The DuraGo BR34101 disc brake rotor is constructed from full cast iron, providing a balance of durability and thermal conductivity essential for effective braking. Its vented design allows air to circulate between the rotor surfaces, helping to dissipate heat generated during braking and reducing the risk of brake fade. With a nominal thickness of 1.08 inches and a discard thickness of 1 inch, this rotor meets the specifications required for safe and efficient braking performance.

Measuring 11.81 inches in diameter and featuring five mounting bolt holes on a 4.41 inch bolt circle, the BR34101 is engineered to fit a range of Chrysler and Mercedes-Benz vehicles, including the Mercedes-Benz C230, C240, C280, C320, C350, CLK320, CLK350, CLK430, E300, E320, E420, E430, SLK280, SLK300, SLK320, and the Chrysler Crossfire. The rotor’s non-directional surface allows for flexible installation without concern for rotor orientation.

Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or warped rotors causing brake pulsation or noise
• Restores braking efficiency on Mercedes-Benz C-Class and CLK models
• Addresses overheating issues by improving heat dissipation with vented design
• Suitable for vehicles experiencing reduced braking performance due to rotor wear
• Compatible with ABS-equipped vehicles requiring standard rotors without tone rings

Installation Notes and Tips

• Ensure rotor thickness is above discard thickness before installation
• Clean rotor surface to remove any protective coatings or debris prior to mounting
• Torque mounting bolts to manufacturer specifications for secure fitment
• Inspect brake pads and calipers during rotor replacement for optimal system performance
• Non-directional design allows installation on either side without alignment concerns
