Detailed Description

DuraGo BR34145 is a rear brake rotor designed for Mercedes-Benz ML320 rear, Mercedes-Benz ML350 rear, and Mercedes-Benz ML430 rear fitments. The rotor uses a full cast iron construction with a solid, non-directional braking surface to support even pad contact and predictable service characteristics. Its drum-in-hat design matches the rear brake architecture used on these vehicles, while the 5-lug bolt pattern and listed dimensions help support proper replacement fitment. DuraGo manufactures its brake drum and rotor program in ISO-certified factories, with attention to fit, form, and function for aftermarket brake service. This part cross-references Raybestos Brakes 96788 for the same application.

What This Rotor Helps Address

• Rear brake pulsation caused by rotor wear or thickness variation
• Brake noise related to worn or uneven rotor surfaces
• Reduced braking consistency from a damaged rear rotor
• Service replacement needs on Mercedes-Benz ML320, ML350, and ML430 rear brake systems
• Fitment issues when replacing a drum-in-hat rear rotor with the correct dimensions

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify rotor dimensions, bolt pattern, and center bore before installation on the vehicle. Clean the hub mounting surface thoroughly to help prevent runout concerns, and inspect pads, calipers, and parking brake components during service. For Mercedes-Benz ML320, ML350, and ML430 rear brake rotor replacement, confirm the drum-in-hat parking brake assembly is in proper condition before final assembly. The DuraGo BR34145 part number should be matched to the vehicle application before installation.
