Detailed Product Description

The DuraGo BR3472 disc brake rotor is engineered with a full cast construction using high-quality cast iron, providing a balance of durability and effective heat management. Its vented design allows air to flow between the rotor surfaces, reducing the risk of brake fade during extended use. With a nominal thickness of 0.87 inches and a discard thickness of 0.8 inches, this rotor maintains optimal braking performance throughout its service life. The rotor’s 10.35-inch outside diameter and 2.65-inch overall height are designed to match the specifications required for Volvo 240, DL, and GLE models, ensuring proper fit and function.

Compatible Vehicles and Applications

This disc brake rotor is compatible with the following Volvo models:

• Volvo 240
• Volvo DL
• Volvo GLE

It is intended for use in conventional braking systems without ABS tone rings and fits vehicles requiring a 5-bolt mounting pattern with a 4.25-inch bolt circle diameter.

Common Issues Addressed by DuraGo BR3472

• Brake rotor warping causing vibration during braking
• Reduced braking efficiency due to worn or thin rotors
• Overheating and brake fade from insufficient rotor cooling
• Uneven brake pad wear linked to rotor surface irregularities
• Corrosion-related rotor damage (note: this rotor does not have rust-resistant coating)

Installation Notes and Tips

• Ensure rotor thickness is above discard thickness (0.8 inches) before installation
• Clean mounting surface to prevent rotor misalignment
• Torque mounting bolts to manufacturer specifications for Volvo 240, DL, and GLE
• Check for compatibility with existing brake pads and calipers
• Inspect brake system components for wear during rotor replacement
