Detailed Product Description

The DuraGo BR5388 disc brake rotor is constructed from full cast iron, providing a solid and reliable braking surface. Its vented design enhances airflow to reduce heat buildup during braking, which helps prevent rotor warping and extends the rotor's service life. With a nominal thickness of 1.02 inches (26 mm) and a discard thickness of 0.96 inches (24.4 mm), this rotor meets the specifications required for safe and effective braking on Chrysler 300M, Dodge Concorde, and Dodge Intrepid models. The rotor measures 11.69 inches (297 mm) in outside diameter and features five mounting bolt holes arranged on a 4.5-inch (114.3 mm) bolt circle diameter, ensuring proper fitment and secure installation. The non-directional brake surface allows for flexible mounting options without concern for rotor orientation.

Compatible Vehicles and Applications

• Chrysler 300M
• Dodge Concorde
• Dodge Intrepid

This rotor is designed to replace worn or damaged rotors on these specific models, restoring braking performance and safety.

Common Issues Addressed by DuraGo BR5388 Rotor

• Brake pulsation caused by warped rotors
• Reduced braking efficiency due to worn rotor thickness
• Excessive heat buildup leading to premature rotor failure
• Uneven brake pad wear from damaged rotor surfaces
• Noise and vibration during braking from rotor imperfections

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the DuraGo BR5388 rotor, ensure the rotor surface is clean and free of rust or debris before mounting. Verify the rotor thickness is above the discard limit of 0.96 inches (24.4 mm) to maintain safe braking performance. Use proper torque specifications for the five mounting bolts to avoid rotor distortion. Since this rotor does not include an ABS tone ring, confirm compatibility with your vehicle’s ABS system. It is recommended to replace brake pads simultaneously to ensure even wear and optimal braking response.
