Detailed Product Description

The DuraGo BR5484 disc brake rotor is engineered with a full cast iron construction, providing consistent heat dissipation and structural integrity under braking stress. Its solid rotor design, combined with a drum-in-hat configuration, integrates the parking brake drum within the rotor, making it suitable for vehicles like the Ford Crown Victoria, Lincoln Town Car, and Mercury Grand Marquis. The rotor measures 11.42 inches in outside diameter and maintains a nominal thickness of 0.49 inches, ensuring compatibility with factory specifications. The mounting bolt pattern includes five holes with a 4.5-inch bolt circle diameter, matching the OEM fitment requirements for these models. This rotor does not include an ABS tone ring and features a non-directional braking surface, allowing for flexible installation without concern for rotor orientation.

Common Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or warped rotors causing brake pulsation
• Addressing rotor thickness below discard limits to restore braking efficiency
• Resolving noise or vibration issues related to damaged rotors
• Upgrading to OEM-spec rotors for consistent braking performance on Ford Crown Victoria, Lincoln Town Car, and Mercury Grand Marquis
• Ensuring proper parking brake function with drum-in-hat rotor design

Installation Notes and Tips

• Verify rotor thickness before installation; discard thickness is 0.44 inches
• Ensure mounting surfaces are clean and free of debris for proper fitment
• Use proper torque specifications on mounting bolts to avoid rotor warping
• Check compatibility with existing brake pads and hardware
• Since the rotor is non-directional, it can be installed on either side without concern for rotation direction
