Its vented design allows air to flow between the rotor surfaces, helping to dissipate heat generated during braking and reducing the risk of brake fade. With a nominal thickness of 0.98 inches and a discard thickness of 0.87 inches, this rotor maintains structural integrity throughout its service life. The rotor measures 12.13 inches in outside diameter and features five mounting bolt holes arranged on a 4.33 inch bolt circle diameter, ensuring precise fitment on compatible vehicles.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis rotor is designed as a conventional, non-directional brake surface component, meaning it can be installed on either side of the vehicle without concern for directional rotation. It does not include an ABS tone ring and lacks cross-drilled or slotted features, focusing on straightforward, reliable braking performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCompatible Vehicles and Applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis DuraGo disc brake rotor is compatible with the following makes and models:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChevrolet Astra\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSaab 9-3 and 9-5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSaturn Astra\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is intended for use in standard braking systems where vented rotors are specified, providing replacement or upgrade options for vehicles requiring part number BR34248.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCommon Issues Addressed by This Rotor\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrake rotor warping or uneven wear causing vibration during braking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReduced braking efficiency due to worn or thin rotors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOverheating and brake fade in daily driving conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCorrosion-related rotor damage (note: this rotor does not have rust-resistant coating)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReplacement of damaged or scored rotors to restore braking performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Notes and Tips\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnsure rotor thickness is above discard thickness (0.87 inches) before installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClean mounting surfaces to prevent rotor runout and vibration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTorque mounting bolts to manufacturer specifications for secure fitment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCheck compatibility with vehicle ABS systems as this rotor does not include an ABS tone ring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInspect brake pads and replace if worn to ensure optimal rotor performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuality Assurance and Warranty\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eDuraGo manufactures the BR34248 rotor to meet or exceed OEM specifications for fit, form, and function.
