Detailed Product Description

The DuraGo BR54118 disc brake rotor is constructed from full cast iron, a material known for its durability and effective heat management. This rotor features a vented design, which allows air to flow between the rotor surfaces, helping to dissipate heat generated during braking. Maintaining optimal temperature reduces the risk of brake fade and extends rotor life. The rotor’s nominal thickness of 1.18 inches (30 mm) ensures structural integrity, while the discard thickness of 1.12 inches (28.4 mm) provides a clear wear limit for safe replacement.

With an outside diameter of 11.53 inches (292.8 mm) and a mounting bolt hole pattern of 5 holes on a 4.5 inch (114.3 mm) bolt circle, this rotor is engineered to fit Ford Freestar vehicles precisely. The non-directional brake surface allows for installation on either side of the vehicle without concern for rotor orientation. This conventional rotor type is compatible with standard braking systems and does not include an ABS tone ring.

Compatible Vehicles and Applications

• Compatible with Ford Freestar models requiring a 11.53 inch vented disc brake rotor
• Designed for vehicles with a 5-bolt mounting pattern and 4.5 inch bolt circle diameter
• Suitable for replacement of worn or damaged rotors to restore braking performance
• Ideal for addressing issues such as brake noise, vibration, and reduced stopping power

Installation Notes and Tips

• Ensure rotor thickness is above discard thickness (1.12 inches) before installation
• Clean mounting surface to prevent rotor runout and uneven wear
• Torque mounting bolts to manufacturer specifications for secure fitment
• Inspect brake pads and replace if worn to maintain optimal braking performance
• Check for compatibility with existing brake hardware and ABS components
