Detailed Product Description

The DuraGo BR5383 disc brake rotor is constructed from cast iron, providing a solid and durable braking surface suitable for daily driving conditions. Its full cast, solid rotor design incorporates a drum-in-hat type construction, which integrates the parking brake drum within the rotor hat. This design is specifically engineered for Chrysler, Dodge, and Plymouth minivans including the Caravan, Grand Caravan, Grand Voyager, and Town & Country models. The rotor measures 11.42 inches in outside diameter and has a nominal thickness of 0.5 inches, with a discard thickness of 0.44 inches, ensuring precise fitment and reliable braking performance. The rotor features five mounting bolt holes arranged on a 4.5-inch bolt circle diameter, with a center hole diameter of 2.83 inches, matching factory specifications for proper installation. The brake surface is non-directional, allowing for flexible rotor placement without concern for rotation direction. Note that this rotor does not include an ABS tone ring and does not have a rust resistant coating, so proper maintenance is recommended to prevent corrosion over time.
