Detailed Product Description

The DuraGo BR53018 disc brake rotor is engineered for Chrysler Pacifica vehicles requiring a solid, full cast rotor with a drum-in-hat design. Made from cast iron, it offers a balance of durability and thermal management essential for everyday driving conditions. The rotor’s nominal thickness of 0.55 inches ensures a long service life, while the discard thickness of 0.49 inches indicates when replacement is necessary to maintain safe braking performance. This rotor features a 5-bolt mounting pattern with a 127 mm bolt circle diameter, compatible with the Pacifica’s factory specifications. The non-directional braking surface allows for flexible installation without concern for rotor orientation. This rotor does not include an ABS tone ring and is not cross-drilled or slotted, making it suitable for standard braking applications.

Common Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or warped rotors causing brake pulsation
• Addressing rotor thickness below manufacturer discard limits
