DuraGo BR5470 Disc Brake Rotor - Front

Durable Cast Iron Disc Brake Rotor for Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury

The DuraGo BR5470 disc brake rotor is engineered for reliable braking performance on select Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury vehicles. Designed with a full cast construction and vented design, this rotor provides consistent heat dissipation and durability for models like the Ford Taurus, Lincoln Continental, and Mercury Sable.

• Material: Cast iron for strength and heat resistance
• Vented rotor design to improve cooling and reduce brake fade
• Nominal thickness of 1.03 inches (26.1 mm) with discard thickness at 0.97 inches (24.7 mm)
• Overall height of 1.81 inches (46 mm) for proper fitment
• Outside diameter of 10.16 inches (258 mm) compatible with specified vehicles
• Five mounting bolt holes with a 4.25 inch (108 mm) bolt circle diameter
• Non-directional brake surface for versatile installation
• Conventional rotor type without ABS tone ring

Technical Details and Construction

The DuraGo BR5470 rotor is constructed from cast iron, a material known for its durability and ability to withstand high temperatures generated during braking. This rotor features a vented design, which allows air to flow between the rotor surfaces, helping to dissipate heat and maintain braking efficiency under demanding conditions. The nominal thickness of 1.03 inches ensures a solid braking surface, while the discard thickness of 0.97 inches indicates when the rotor should be replaced to maintain safety and performance.

With an outside diameter of 10.16 inches and an overall height of 1.81 inches, this rotor is designed to fit specific Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury models. The five mounting bolt holes with a 4.25 inch bolt circle diameter provide secure attachment to the wheel hub. The rotor’s non-directional surface allows for flexible installation without concern for rotation direction.

Compatible Vehicles and Applications

This DuraGo disc brake rotor is compatible with the following vehicles:

• Ford Taurus
• Lincoln Continental
• Mercury Sable

It is intended for use as a replacement rotor in the front or rear braking system, depending on vehicle specifications. This rotor is suitable for drivers seeking a reliable OEM-style replacement part that meets factory fit and function requirements.

Common Issues Addressed by This Rotor

• Brake pulsation or vibration caused by warped rotors
• Reduced braking performance due to worn or thin rotors
• Excessive brake noise from uneven rotor surfaces
• Overheating and brake fade during extended braking
• Corrosion-related rotor damage (note: this rotor does not have rust-resistant coating)

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the DuraGo BR5470 rotor, ensure the mounting surface is clean and free of debris to prevent uneven rotor seating. Use proper torque specifications for the five mounting bolts to secure the rotor firmly. Since this rotor is non-directional, it can be installed on either side without concern for rotation direction. It is recommended to replace brake pads simultaneously to ensure optimal braking performance and rotor longevity.

Quality Assurance and Warranty

DuraGo rotors are manufactured to meet or exceed OEM specifications for fit, form, and function. The BR5470 rotor undergoes quality control inspections to ensure consistent thickness and surface finish. While this rotor does not include a rust-resistant coating, its cast iron construction provides reliable durability. Warranty coverage details should be confirmed with the product provider or manufacturer.
