Detailed Product Description

The DuraGo BR34246 is a full cast, vented disc brake rotor specifically compatible with Mercedes-Benz E500 and SL500 vehicles. Its cast iron construction offers a balance of durability and thermal conductivity, essential for effective heat dissipation during braking. The rotor features a nominal thickness of 1.1 inches (28 mm) and an outside diameter of 12.27 inches (311.7 mm), meeting OEM specifications for these models. The vented design helps reduce brake fade by allowing air to circulate between the rotor surfaces, maintaining optimal braking performance. This rotor includes five mounting bolt holes with a 4.41 inch (112 mm) bolt circle diameter, ensuring proper fitment and secure installation. The non-directional brake surface allows for flexible installation without concern for rotor orientation.

Common Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or warped rotors on Mercedes-Benz E500 and SL500
• Addresses brake pulsation caused by uneven rotor surfaces
• Improves braking consistency by restoring proper rotor thickness
• Helps reduce overheating and brake fade during extended use
• Suitable for vehicles requiring conventional, vented rotors without ABS tone rings

Installation Notes and Tips

• Ensure rotor thickness meets minimum discard thickness of 1 inch (25.4 mm) before installation
• Clean mounting surfaces to prevent rotor runout and vibration
• Torque mounting bolts to manufacturer specifications for secure fitment
• Check compatibility with existing brake pads and calipers on Mercedes-Benz E500 and SL500
• Inspect related brake components during installation for optimal system performance
