DuraGo BR54028 Disc Brake Rotor - Rear

Reliable Disc Brake Rotor for Ford and Mercury Vehicles

The DuraGo BR54028 disc brake rotor is engineered to provide consistent braking performance for select Ford and Mercury models. Designed with durable cast iron and a vented construction, this rotor supports effective heat dissipation and reliable stopping power.

• Material: Cast iron for durability and heat resistance
• Vented rotor design to improve cooling during braking
• Nominal thickness of 0.79 inches (20.1 mm) with discard thickness at 0.71 inches (18 mm)
• Overall height of 1.72 inches (43.7 mm) and outside diameter of 9.95 inches (252.8 mm)
• Four mounting bolt holes with a 4.25 inch (107.95 mm) bolt circle diameter
• Non-directional brake surface for versatile installation
• Conventional rotor type compatible with drum-in-hat systems

Durable Construction and Precise Fitment

The BR54028 rotor features a full cast iron construction that balances strength and thermal management. Its vented design allows air to flow between the rotor surfaces, reducing heat buildup and minimizing brake fade during extended use. This rotor is designed without rust-resistant coating, so proper maintenance is recommended to prevent corrosion over time. The non-directional braking surface simplifies installation, allowing it to be mounted in either orientation without affecting performance.

Compatible Vehicles and Applications

This DuraGo disc brake rotor is compatible with the following vehicles:

• Ford Contour
• Ford Cougar
• Ford Mystique
• Mercury Cougar
• Mercury Mystique

Use the BR54028 rotor to address common braking issues such as:

• Excessive brake noise or vibration
• Reduced braking efficiency due to worn or warped rotors
• Overheating and brake fade during heavy use
• Uneven rotor wear causing pedal pulsation

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the DuraGo BR54028 rotor, ensure the mounting surfaces are clean and free of debris. Verify the rotor thickness before installation to confirm it meets the minimum discard thickness of 0.71 inches (18 mm). Since this rotor does not include an ABS tone ring, confirm compatibility with your vehicle’s ABS system. Proper torque specifications should be followed for the four mounting bolts to ensure secure fitment.

Quality Assurance and Warranty

DuraGo manufactures the BR54028 rotor to meet or exceed OEM specifications for fit, form, and function. While this rotor does not feature a rust-resistant coating, its cast iron construction provides reliable durability under normal operating conditions. Warranty coverage details should be confirmed with the point of purchase or manufacturer documentation.
