Detailed Product Description

The DuraGo BR54027 disc brake rotor is engineered with a full cast solid construction, providing a robust and stable braking surface. Its cast iron material ensures effective heat management during braking, reducing the risk of warping under normal operating conditions. The rotor features a drum-in-hat design, integrating the parking brake drum within the rotor assembly, which is compatible with the rear brake systems of Ford Crown Victoria, Lincoln Town Car, and Mercury Grand Marquis vehicles. This rotor does not include an ABS tone ring and is designed with a non-directional braking surface, allowing for flexible installation without concern for rotor orientation.

Compatible Vehicles and Applications

This rotor is compatible with the following vehicles:

• Ford Crown Victoria (rear disc brake applications)
• Lincoln Town Car (rear disc brake applications)
• Mercury Grand Marquis (rear disc brake applications)

It is intended for use in rear brake systems that require a solid, drum-in-hat type rotor without cross-drilling or slotted features.

Common Issues Addressed by DuraGo BR54027

• Brake rotor wear leading to reduced braking efficiency
• Warped rotors causing brake pulsation or vibration
• Corrosion and surface damage affecting rotor lifespan
• Incompatibility with drum-in-hat rear brake assemblies
• Replacement of worn or damaged rear disc brake rotors on specified Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury models

Installation Notes and Tips

• Ensure proper cleaning of the hub surface before installation to prevent rotor runout
• Verify rotor thickness and discard thickness limits; nominal thickness is 0.55 inches (14 mm), discard thickness is 0.51 inches (13 mm)
• Use correct torque specifications for the 5 mounting bolts on the 4.5 inch (114.3 mm) bolt circle
• Check compatibility with existing parking brake components due to the drum-in-hat design
• Inspect brake pads and hardware during rotor replacement for optimal performance
