• Vented rotor design to improve cooling and reduce brake fade
• Nominal thickness: 1.02 inches (26 mm) with discard thickness at 0.97 inches (24.75 mm)
• Outside diameter: 11.1 inches (282 mm) suitable for Ford Windstar brake systems
• Mounting bolt pattern: 5 holes with 4.25 inch (107.95 mm) bolt circle diameter
• Non-directional brake surface for flexible installation
• Conventional rotor type compatible with standard brake setups

Detailed Product Description

The DuraGo BR54070 disc brake rotor is constructed from full cast iron, providing a robust and heat-resistant braking surface. Its vented design allows air to circulate between the rotor faces, helping to dissipate heat generated during braking and reducing the risk of brake fade under heavy use. With a nominal thickness of 1.02 inches and a discard thickness of 0.97 inches, this rotor maintains optimal performance throughout its service life. The 11.1-inch outside diameter and 5-bolt mounting pattern with a 4.25-inch bolt circle diameter ensure precise fitment on compatible Ford Windstar vehicles. The rotor does not include an ABS tone ring and features a non-directional braking surface, allowing for straightforward installation without orientation concerns.

Compatible Vehicles and Applications

• Compatible with Ford Windstar models requiring a 282 mm vented disc brake rotor
• Designed for use in conventional brake systems without drum-in-hat configurations
• Ideal replacement for worn or damaged rotors to restore braking efficiency
• Suitable for drivers experiencing brake noise, vibration, or reduced stopping power
• Addresses rotor wear issues such as thickness below discard limits or surface scoring

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the DuraGo BR54070 rotor, ensure the rotor thickness is measured and compared to the discard thickness of 0.97 inches to confirm suitability. Clean the rotor surface to remove any protective coatings or debris before installation. Use proper torque specifications for the 5 mounting bolts to avoid warping. Since this rotor is non-directional, it can be installed on either side of the vehicle without concern for orientation. It is recommended to inspect brake pads and hardware during rotor replacement to maintain overall braking system integrity.

Quality Assurance and Warranty

DuraGo manufactures the BR54070 rotor to meet or exceed OEM specifications for Ford Windstar vehicles. The full cast iron construction and vented design contribute to consistent braking performance and durability. While no rust-resistant coating is applied, proper maintenance can help extend rotor life. Warranty details should be confirmed with the point of purchase, but DuraGo typically offers coverage against manufacturing defects to ensure customer confidence in product quality.
