Detailed Product Description

The DuraGo BR5397 disc brake rotor is a full cast iron construction component designed specifically for the Chrysler, Dodge, and Plymouth Neon vehicles. Its vented design allows for enhanced heat dissipation, reducing the risk of brake fade during extended use. The rotor features a nominal thickness of 0.87 inches (22 mm) and a discard thickness of 0.8 inches (20.39 mm), ensuring clear service limits for maintenance. With an outside diameter of 10.12 inches (257 mm) and an overall height of 1.5 inches (38.1 mm), this rotor fits precisely with the specified mounting bolt pattern of five holes on a 100 mm circle diameter. The non-directional brake surface allows for flexible installation without concern for rotor orientation. This conventional rotor does not include an ABS tone ring and lacks cross-drilled or slotted features, focusing on straightforward, dependable braking performance.

Common Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or warped rotors on Chrysler, Dodge, and Plymouth Neon models
• Addresses brake pulsation caused by uneven rotor surfaces
• Helps eliminate squealing or noise from damaged rotors
• Restores proper braking efficiency and pedal feel
• Prevents overheating and brake fade during normal driving

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the DuraGo BR5397 rotor, ensure the mounting surface is clean and free of rust or debris to promote proper fitment. Verify the rotor thickness before installation to confirm it meets the minimum discard thickness of 0.8 inches (20.39 mm). Use the correct torque specifications for the five mounting bolts on the 100 mm bolt circle to avoid rotor warping. Since this rotor is non-directional, it can be installed on either side without concern for orientation. It is recommended to replace brake pads simultaneously to ensure optimal braking performance.
