• Compatible with 5 mounting bolt holes and conventional rotor setup

Detailed Product Features and Specifications

The DuraGo BR54103-01 disc brake rotor features a nominal thickness of 1.1 inches (28 mm) and a discard thickness of 1.04 inches (26.35 mm), ensuring it meets precise wear limits for safe operation. Its overall height measures 1.77 inches (45 mm), with an outside diameter of 12.01 inches (305 mm), fitting the brake system specifications of the targeted vehicle models. The rotor includes five mounting bolt holes arranged on a 4.5-inch (114.3 mm) bolt circle diameter, with each hole measuring 0.57 inches (14.5 mm) in diameter. The center hole diameter is 2.82 inches (71.7 mm), designed for a conventional rotor installation without an ABS tone ring. The vented construction enhances heat dissipation during braking, helping maintain consistent performance under demanding conditions.

Compatible Vehicles and Applications

• Ford Crown Victoria
• Lincoln Town Car
• Mercury Grand Marquis
• Mercury Marauder

This rotor is specifically engineered for these models, ensuring proper fitment and brake system compatibility. The part number BR54103-01 should be referenced when searching for replacement rotors for these vehicles.

Common Issues Addressed by This Rotor

• Brake rotor warping causing vibration during braking
• Excessive rotor wear leading to reduced braking efficiency
• Corrosion and rust buildup affecting rotor surface integrity
• Overheating and brake fade under heavy braking conditions
• Uneven brake pad wear due to rotor surface irregularities

Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure the brake system is clean and free of debris before installing the DuraGo BR54103-01 rotor. Verify rotor thickness and discard limits to confirm suitability for replacement. Use proper torque specifications on mounting bolts to avoid rotor distortion. Since this rotor is non-directional, it can be installed on either side of the vehicle without concern for rotation direction. It is recommended to replace brake pads simultaneously to maintain optimal braking performance.
