Detailed Product Description

The DuraGo BR5118 is a full cast disc brake rotor specifically designed for Jeep Grand Cherokee vehicles. Its cast iron construction offers a balance of strength and heat resistance, essential for maintaining braking efficiency during extended use. The vented design allows air to flow between the rotor surfaces, helping to dissipate heat and reduce the risk of brake fade. With a nominal thickness of 1.02 inches and a discard thickness of 0.96 inches, this rotor provides a clear service life indicator to ensure timely replacement. The rotor’s 12.01-inch diameter and 2.51-inch overall height are engineered to match factory specifications, ensuring proper fit and function. The five mounting bolt holes with a 5-inch bolt circle diameter facilitate secure installation on compatible Jeep Grand Cherokee models. This rotor does not include an ABS tone ring and features a non-directional braking surface, allowing for flexible installation without concern for rotor orientation.

Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or warped rotors causing brake pulsation
• Addressing reduced braking performance due to rotor thickness below discard limits
• Eliminating noise and vibration from uneven rotor surfaces
• Improving heat dissipation to prevent brake fade during heavy braking
• Restoring proper rotor dimensions for safe and effective braking

Installation Notes and Tips

• Ensure rotor thickness is measured before installation to confirm discard limits
• Clean rotor surface to remove any protective coating or debris prior to mounting
• Torque mounting bolts to manufacturer specifications to avoid rotor warping
• Inspect brake pads and calipers for wear or damage during rotor replacement
• Test brakes at low speed after installation to verify proper function
