Product Details and Specifications

The DuraGo BR54032-01 rotor features a solid disc design constructed from cast iron, providing a balance of strength and heat management essential for effective braking. Its full cast construction improves structural integrity, while the rust-resistant coating helps extend the rotor's service life by minimizing corrosion. The rotor measures 11.22 inches (285 mm) in outside diameter and has a nominal thickness of 0.47 inches (12 mm), with a discard thickness of 0.43 inches (11 mm), indicating when replacement is necessary to maintain safe braking performance.

This rotor includes a drum-in-hat design, integrating a drum brake surface within the rotor hat area, suitable for vehicles equipped with rear drum brakes. It features five mounting bolt holes arranged on a 4.5 inch (114.3 mm) bolt circle diameter, with a center hole diameter of 2.8 inches (71.2 mm). The brake surface is non-directional, allowing installation on either side of the vehicle without affecting performance.

Compatible Vehicles and Applications

• Ford Explorer and Explorer Sport models
• Mercury Mountaineer
• Ford Ranger

This rotor is designed specifically for these models, ensuring proper fitment and reliable braking performance when replacing worn or damaged rotors.

Common Issues Addressed by This Rotor

• Brake pulsation or vibration due to warped rotors
• Reduced braking efficiency from worn or thin rotors
• Corrosion and rust buildup affecting rotor surface
• Noise or squealing caused by uneven rotor wear
• Incompatibility with drum-in-hat brake systems

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the DuraGo BR54032-01 rotor, ensure the rotor surface is clean and free of debris before mounting. Verify the rotor thickness to confirm it meets or exceeds the nominal thickness of 0.47 inches (12 mm) and is above the discard thickness of 0.43 inches (11 mm). Proper torque specifications should be followed for the 5 mounting bolts to avoid rotor warping. This rotor is non-directional, so it can be installed on either side of the vehicle without concern for orientation.
