Detailed Product Description

The DuraGo BR5472 rotor is constructed from full cast iron, providing a balance of strength and thermal conductivity essential for effective braking. Its vented design allows air to flow between the rotor surfaces, helping to reduce heat buildup during braking and maintain consistent performance. With a nominal thickness of 1.04 inches and a discard thickness of 0.97 inches, this rotor meets the specifications required for safe operation and replacement intervals.

Measuring 11.09 inches in outside diameter and featuring five mounting bolt holes on a 4.5-inch bolt circle, the BR5472 is engineered to fit securely on compatible Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury vehicles. The non-directional brake surface simplifies installation, as the rotor can be mounted in either orientation without affecting performance.

Compatible Vehicles and Applications

This disc brake rotor is compatible with the following vehicles:

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

It is designed to replace worn or damaged rotors, restoring braking efficiency and safety for these specific models.

Common Issues Addressed by DuraGo BR5472

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

Installation Notes and Tips

• Ensure rotor thickness is above discard thickness before installation
• Clean mounting surfaces to prevent uneven rotor seating
• Torque mounting bolts to manufacturer specifications
• Check brake pads for wear and replace if necessary
• Perform a test drive to verify braking performance after installation
