• Nominal thickness of 1.1 inches (28 mm) with discard thickness at 1 inch (25.3 mm)
• Overall height of 1.5 inches (38.1 mm) for proper fitment
• Outside diameter of 11.06 inches (280.8 mm) matching OEM specifications
• Five mounting bolt holes with a 4.5 inch (114.3 mm) bolt circle diameter
• Non-directional brake surface for versatile installation
• Conventional rotor type without cross-drilled or slotted features
• Rust resistant coating to extend rotor life

Technical Details and Construction

The DuraGo BR53002-01 rotor is constructed from high-quality cast iron, providing excellent thermal conductivity and durability under demanding braking conditions. Its vented design allows air to flow between the rotor surfaces, helping to dissipate heat and maintain consistent braking performance. The rotor’s nominal thickness of 1.1 inches ensures structural integrity, while the discard thickness of 1 inch indicates when replacement is necessary to maintain safety standards. The rotor features a full cast construction and a rust-resistant coating to protect against corrosion, extending the service life of the part.

Compatible Chrysler and Dodge Models

This disc brake rotor is compatible with several Chrysler and Dodge minivan models, including the Caravan, Grand Caravan, Town & Country, and Voyager. The precise fitment is ensured by the rotor’s 11.06 inch outside diameter and five mounting bolt holes arranged on a 4.5 inch bolt circle diameter. The center hole diameter of 2.89 inches allows for proper alignment on the vehicle hub.

Common Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or warped rotors causing brake pulsation
• Addressing rotor corrosion and surface rust affecting braking efficiency
• Improving heat dissipation to reduce brake fade during extended use
• Restoring proper rotor thickness to maintain safe braking distances
• Ensuring compatibility with ABS systems without tone ring interference

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the DuraGo BR53002-01 rotor, ensure the rotor surface is clean and free of any protective coatings before mounting. Verify the rotor thickness is above the discard limit to maintain safety. Use proper torque specifications for the five mounting bolts to avoid rotor warping. This rotor is non-directional, allowing installation on either side of the vehicle without concern for rotation direction.
