Its cast iron construction provides a balance of strength and heat dissipation, essential for maintaining braking efficiency during extended use. The vented design allows air to flow between the rotor surfaces, reducing heat buildup and minimizing the risk of brake fade. With a nominal thickness of 1.18 inches and a discard thickness of 1.12 inches, this rotor meets OEM specifications for safe replacement intervals.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe rotor features a 12.01-inch outside diameter and an overall height of 2.13 inches, ensuring proper fitment and compatibility with the specified vehicle models. It includes five mounting bolt holes arranged on a 4.5-inch bolt circle diameter, matching factory mounting points. The non-directional brake surface allows for installation on either side of the vehicle without concern for rotor orientation. This conventional rotor does not include an ABS tone ring, so it is intended for vehicles without ABS sensor integration on the rotor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCommon Applications and Problem Solving\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReplacement for worn or warped rotors causing brake pulsation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAddressing reduced braking performance due to rotor thickness below discard limits\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEliminating noise and vibration from uneven rotor surfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRestoring proper rotor dimensions for safe brake pad contact\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUpgrading to vented rotors for improved heat dissipation in daily driving\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Notes and Tips\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVerify rotor thickness before installation to ensure it meets minimum discard thickness of 1.12 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClean mounting surfaces to prevent rotor runout and ensure proper fit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse proper torque specifications on mounting bolts to avoid rotor distortion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInspect brake pads and replace if worn to maintain optimal braking performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCheck for compatibility with vehicle ABS system as this rotor does not include an ABS tone ring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuality Assurance and Warranty\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eDuraGo disc brake rotors are manufactured to meet or exceed OEM standards for fit, form, and function.
