Detailed Description

DuraGo BR54097 is engineered as a conventional front brake rotor for vehicles that require a vented, cast iron replacement rotor with OE-style dimensions. The rotor measures 12.01 inches in outside diameter, 2.6 inches in overall height, and uses a 5-lug pattern with a 114.3 mm bolt circle and 16.4 mm mounting bolt hole diameter. Its non-directional braking surface supports straightforward service and consistent pad contact during replacement work. This part cross-references Raybestos Brakes 680027 for the same application.

Compatible With 2003-2011 Ford Ranger, front; 2003-2010 Mazda B4000, front; 2001-2005 Ford Explorer Sport Trac, front; and 2001-2003 Ford Explorer Sport, front. The BR54097 is a direct-fit option for front brake rotor replacement on these platforms, including Ford Ranger front rotor service and Mazda B4000 front brake maintenance.

Common Replacement Reasons

• Brake pulsation from rotor thickness variation
• Scoring, grooves, or uneven pad contact on the braking surface
• Rotor wear approaching discard thickness
• Front brake noise caused by worn rotor surfaces
• Service replacement for vented front disc brake assemblies

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify rotor dimensions, hub fitment, and bolt pattern before installation. Clean the hub mounting surface thoroughly to help prevent runout-related brake pulsation. Inspect pads, calipers, and wheel bearings during rotor service, and follow the vehicle manufacturer’s torque specifications during reassembly. The BR54097 is a conventional rotor and does not include an ABS tone ring.
