Detailed Product Description

The DuraGo BR54116 disc brake rotor is engineered for the Lincoln Aviator, providing a solid rotor design that integrates a drum-in-hat construction. This design allows for compatibility with parking brake shoes housed within the rotor hat, streamlining brake system maintenance. Made from cast iron, the rotor balances durability with effective heat dissipation to maintain braking efficiency under normal driving conditions. The rotor measures 12.71 inches in diameter and has a nominal thickness of 0.47 inches, with a discard thickness of 0.39 inches, indicating when replacement is necessary to maintain safe braking performance.

Common Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or warped rotors causing brake pulsation
• Addressing reduced braking efficiency due to rotor thickness below discard limits
• Resolving noise issues related to uneven rotor surfaces
• Upgrading from damaged or corroded rotors without rust resistant coating
• Ensuring proper fitment for Lincoln Aviator brake systems requiring drum-in-hat rotors

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the DuraGo BR54116 rotor, ensure the rotor surface is clean and free of debris before mounting. Verify the rotor thickness is above the discard limit of 0.39 inches to guarantee safe operation. This rotor is non-directional, allowing installation on either side of the vehicle without concern for directional rotation. Since it does not include an ABS tone ring, confirm compatibility with your vehicle’s ABS system. Proper torque specifications should be followed for the 5 mounting bolts to avoid rotor warping.
