Detailed Product Description

The DuraGo BR53022 is a full cast iron disc brake rotor designed specifically for Chrysler and Dodge vehicles including the 300, Challenger, Charger, and Magnum models. Its vented construction allows for improved airflow between the rotor surfaces, reducing heat buildup during braking and helping to maintain consistent stopping power. The rotor features a nominal thickness of 1.1 inches (28 mm) and a discard thickness of 1.04 inches (26.5 mm), ensuring it meets OEM specifications for safe replacement. With an outside diameter of 12.6 inches (320 mm) and five mounting bolt holes arranged on a 4.53 inch (115 mm) bolt circle, this rotor fits securely and aligns precisely with the vehicle’s hub assembly. The non-directional brake surface allows for flexible installation without concern for rotor orientation.

Compatible Vehicles and Applications

• Chrysler 300
• Dodge Challenger
• Dodge Charger
• Dodge Magnum

This rotor is intended for use in conventional brake systems on these models, providing a direct replacement for worn or damaged rotors to restore braking performance.

Common Issues Addressed by DuraGo BR53022

• Brake pulsation caused by warped rotors
• Reduced braking efficiency due to worn rotor thickness
• Overheating and brake fade from insufficient heat dissipation
• Noise and vibration from uneven rotor surfaces
• Corrosion-related rotor damage (note: this rotor does not include rust-resistant coating)

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the DuraGo BR53022 rotor, ensure the mounting surface is clean and free of debris to promote proper fitment. Since this rotor is non-directional, it can be installed on either side without concern for orientation. Verify that the rotor thickness meets or exceeds the discard thickness specification of 1.04 inches (26.5 mm) before installation. Use proper torque specifications on the mounting bolts to avoid rotor warping. This rotor does not include an ABS tone ring, so it is compatible with vehicles that do not require this feature.

Quality Assurance and Warranty

DuraGo manufactures the BR53022 rotor to meet or exceed OEM standards for material and dimensional accuracy. The full cast iron construction ensures durability under normal operating conditions. While this rotor does not feature a rust-resistant coating, it is designed for reliable performance in typical driving environments. Warranty coverage details should be confirmed with the point of purchase or manufacturer documentation.
