Detailed Product Description

The DuraGo BR55034-01 disc brake rotor features a full cast iron construction that provides the necessary strength and thermal capacity to withstand demanding braking conditions. Its vented design allows air to flow between the rotor surfaces, helping to dissipate heat more effectively and reduce the risk of brake fade during extended use. The rotor is coated with a rust-resistant finish to help maintain its appearance and performance over time, especially in environments prone to moisture and road salt.

With a nominal thickness of 1.27 inches and a discard thickness of 1.21 inches, this rotor meets OEM specifications for thickness tolerances, ensuring safe and reliable braking. The 11.91-inch outside diameter and 5-bolt mounting pattern with a 4.65-inch bolt circle diameter make it compatible with a range of GM vehicles. The non-directional brake surface allows for flexible installation without concern for rotor orientation.

Compatible Vehicles and Applications

• Buick Aurora, LeSabre, Park Avenue
• Cadillac DeVille, Eldorado, Seville
• Chevrolet Camaro, Impala, Monte Carlo
• Oldsmobile Intrigue, Riviera
• Pontiac Bonneville, Firebird, Riviera

This rotor is designed to replace worn or damaged rotors on these models, restoring braking performance and safety.

Common Issues Addressed by This Rotor

• Brake pulsation or vibration due to warped rotors
• Reduced braking efficiency from worn or thin rotors
• Corrosion and rust buildup affecting rotor surface

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the DuraGo BR55034-01 rotor, ensure the rotor thickness is above the discard thickness of 1.21 inches to maintain safe braking performance. Clean the hub surface before mounting to prevent runout and ensure proper fitment. Since this rotor has a non-directional surface, it can be installed on either side without concern for directional rotation. Always torque mounting bolts to manufacturer specifications and inspect brake pads for wear during rotor replacement.
