Detailed Product Description

The DuraGo BR53024-01 disc brake rotor is constructed from full cast iron, providing a durable and heat-resistant braking surface suitable for demanding driving conditions. Its vented design enhances airflow to dissipate heat more effectively, reducing the risk of brake fade during extended use. The rotor features a rust-resistant coating that helps maintain its appearance and structural integrity over time, especially in environments prone to moisture and road salt.

With a nominal thickness of 0.87 inches (22 mm) and a discard thickness of 0.81 inches (20.5 mm), this rotor meets OEM specifications for thickness and wear limits. The outside diameter measures 12.59 inches (319.8 mm), and it includes a drum-in-hat design that integrates a parking brake drum within the rotor assembly. The mounting bolt pattern consists of 5 holes spaced on a 4.53 inch (115 mm) bolt circle diameter, compatible with specific Chrysler and Dodge models.

Compatible Vehicles and Applications

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

This rotor is designed specifically for these vehicles, ensuring proper fitment and performance when replacing worn or damaged front or rear rotors.

Common Issues Addressed by This Rotor

• Brake rotor warping causing vibration during braking
• Excessive rotor wear leading to reduced braking efficiency
• Corrosion and rust buildup affecting rotor surface and longevity
• Brake fade due to insufficient heat dissipation
• Noise and uneven braking caused by damaged or uneven rotors

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the DuraGo BR53024-01 rotor, ensure the rotor thickness is within the nominal range and above the discard thickness to maintain safe braking performance. Clean the hub surface before mounting to prevent runout and ensure proper rotor seating. Since this rotor features a non-directional brake surface, it can be installed on either side without concern for directional rotation. Verify the mounting bolt pattern and bolt hole dimensions match your vehicle specifications.
