Detailed Description

DuraGo BR5474 is a front brake rotor engineered for vehicles that use a vented, conventional disc design. Its cast iron construction and full-cast build support consistent rotor mass and braking feel, while the non-directional surface simplifies service and replacement. This rotor measures 256.8 mm in outside diameter, 45.1 mm in overall height, and uses a 4-bolt pattern with a 100 mm bolt circle and 13 mm mounting bolt holes.

DuraGo has a long history in the aftermarket and manufactures brake drums and rotors through ISO-certified factories focused on fit, form, and function. This part cross-references Anchor 6131 for the same application. The BR5474 is a direct-fit option for front brake service on Ford Escort, Mercury Tracer, Mazda Protege, and Mazda MX-3 applications listed in the fitment data.

Common Brake Service Issues

• Front brake pulsation from worn or below-spec rotors
• Brake noise caused by uneven rotor surfaces
• Reduced stopping consistency from rotor wear
• Service failures tied to incorrect rotor dimensions
• Fitment problems on front brake replacements for listed Ford, Mercury, and Mazda models

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify rotor diameter, center hole diameter, bolt pattern, and thickness before installation. Clean the hub mounting surface thoroughly to help prevent runout-related brake pulsation. Because this rotor is non-directional and not cross-drilled or slotted, it installs as a conventional replacement rotor for the specified front applications. Confirm the vehicle’s exact brake configuration, especially on 1991-1998 Ford Escort and 1991-1996 Mercury Tracer models with the 10.25 inch rotor diameter note.

Quality Assurance

DuraGo manufactures brake components in ISO-certified factories and builds this rotor to meet fit, form, and function requirements for aftermarket service. The brand’s brake drum and rotor program is positioned for professional repair use and cataloged applications.
