• 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 ABS tone ring

Detailed Product Description

The DuraGo BR53004 is a full cast disc brake rotor constructed from high-quality cast iron, providing a solid and reliable braking surface. Its vented design enhances airflow to reduce heat buildup during braking, which helps maintain consistent stopping power and reduces the risk of rotor warping. With a nominal thickness of 1.1 inches and a discard thickness of 1 inch, this rotor meets the specifications required for safe and effective brake system maintenance on compatible Chrysler and Dodge minivans.

The rotor measures 11.06 inches in outside diameter and features five mounting bolt holes arranged on a 4.5 inch bolt circle diameter, ensuring proper fitment on the specified vehicle models. The non-directional brake surface allows for flexible installation without concern for rotor orientation. This conventional rotor does not include an ABS tone ring, so it is intended for vehicles without ABS sensor integration on the rotor itself.

Compatible Vehicles and Applications

• Chrysler Caravan
• Chrysler Grand Caravan
• Chrysler Town & Country
• Dodge Caravan
• Dodge Grand Caravan

This rotor is designed specifically for these Chrysler and Dodge minivan models, ensuring proper fit and function when replacing worn or damaged rotors.

Common Issues Addressed by DuraGo BR53004

• Brake pulsation caused by warped rotors
• Reduced braking efficiency due to worn rotor thickness
• Overheating and brake fade from inadequate rotor ventilation
• Uneven brake pad wear linked to rotor surface irregularities
• Noise and vibration during braking from damaged rotors

Installation Notes and Tips

• Verify rotor thickness before installation; replace if below discard thickness of 1 inch (25.3 mm)
• Ensure mounting surfaces are clean and free of debris for proper rotor seating
• Torque mounting bolts to manufacturer specifications to avoid rotor distortion
• Check compatibility with vehicle brake system, especially if ABS sensors are present
• Inspect brake pads and replace if worn to maintain optimal braking performance
