Technical Details and Construction
The BR34178 rotor features a full cast construction made from high-quality cast iron, providing a solid and reliable braking surface. Its vented design enhances airflow to reduce heat buildup during braking, which helps maintain consistent stopping power and reduces the risk of rotor warping. The rotor measures 13.58 inches (345 mm) in outside diameter and has an overall height of 2.01 inches (51 mm). The nominal thickness is 1.26 inches (32 mm), with a discard thickness of 1.18 inches (30 mm), ensuring clear guidelines for replacement timing. This rotor includes five mounting bolt holes with a 4.41-inch (112 mm) bolt circle diameter and 0.6-inch (15.3 mm) bolt hole diameter, designed specifically for Mercedes-Benz ML55 AMG, ML430, and ML500 vehicles.
