Detailed Product Description

The DuraGo BR53023 is a full cast, vented disc brake rotor constructed from cast iron, providing a balance of durability and thermal management. Its vented design allows air to flow 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 safety standards for wear limits. With an outside diameter of 13.58 inches (345 mm) and an overall height of 2.15 inches (54.6 mm), this rotor is designed to fit specific Chrysler and Dodge models including the 300, Challenger, Charger, and Magnum. The five mounting bolt holes with a 4.53 inch (115 mm) bolt circle diameter and 0.68 inch (17.2 mm) bolt hole diameter provide secure attachment to the vehicle hub. This rotor does not include an ABS tone ring and features a non-directional brake surface, allowing for flexible installation without concern for rotor orientation.

Common Applications and Issues Addressed

• Replacement for worn or warped rotors causing brake pulsation
• Restores braking performance on Chrysler 300 and Dodge Charger models
• Addresses rotor thickness below manufacturer discard limits
• Improves heat dissipation to reduce brake fade during heavy use
• Suitable for vehicles experiencing uneven rotor wear or noise

Installation Notes and Tips

• Ensure rotor thickness is above discard thickness before installation
• Clean mounting surface to prevent rotor runout and vibration
• Torque mounting bolts to manufacturer specifications for secure fitment
• Check compatibility with vehicle ABS system as this rotor does not include an ABS tone ring
• Inspect brake pads and replace if worn to ensure optimal braking performance
