Detailed Product Description

The DuraGo BR53000 is a full cast, vented disc brake rotor specifically designed for the Chrysler PT Cruiser. Its cast iron construction provides a balance of strength and heat dissipation, which is critical for maintaining braking efficiency under various driving conditions. The vented design helps reduce rotor temperature, minimizing the risk of brake fade during extended use. With a nominal thickness of 0.91 inch and a discard thickness of 0.84 inch, this rotor offers a clear service life indicator to help maintain optimal braking performance. The rotor features a non-directional brake surface, allowing for flexible installation without concern for rotor orientation. The 5-bolt mounting pattern with a 3.94 inch (100 mm) bolt circle diameter ensures compatibility with the PT Cruiser's hub assembly.

Compatible Vehicles and Applications

• Compatible with Chrysler PT Cruiser models requiring a 280.1 mm rotor diameter
• Designed for use in standard braking systems without ABS tone ring requirements
• Suitable for replacement of worn or damaged front or rear disc brake rotors on PT Cruiser vehicles

Installation Notes and Tips

• Ensure rotor thickness is above discard thickness before installation
• Clean rotor surface to remove any protective coating or debris prior to mounting
• Torque mounting bolts to manufacturer specifications to avoid warping
