Its overall height measures 1.93 inches (48.9 mm), with an outside diameter of 10.96 inches (278.3 mm), fitting the specified vehicle applications accurately. The rotor includes five mounting bolt holes arranged on a 4.65 inch (118 mm) bolt circle diameter, with each hole measuring 0.64 inches (16.2 mm) in diameter. The center hole diameter is 2.78 inches (70.7 mm). This conventional, vented rotor does not include an ABS tone ring and features a non-directional braking surface, allowing for flexible installation without concern for rotor orientation. The rust resistant coating helps protect the rotor surface from corrosion, maintaining performance over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCompatible Vehicles and Applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChevrolet Malibu\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOldsmobile Alero and Cutlass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePontiac Grand Am and Classic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis rotor is designed specifically for these models, ensuring proper fitment and brake system compatibility.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCommon Issues Addressed by DuraGo BR55040-01\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrake rotor wear and thinning beyond discard thickness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOverheating and brake fade due to insufficient cooling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCorrosion and rust buildup on rotor surfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUneven braking caused by warped or damaged rotors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNoise and vibration from worn or incompatible rotors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Notes and Tips\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen installing the DuraGo BR55040-01 rotor, ensure the rotor surface is clean and free of debris before mounting. Verify the rotor thickness is above the discard limit to maintain safety standards. Since this rotor is non-directional, it can be installed on either side without affecting performance. Use proper torque specifications for the 5 mounting bolts to avoid rotor warping. This rotor is designed for vehicles with conventional brake systems and does not include an ABS tone ring, so confirm compatibility with your vehicle's braking components.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuality Assurance and Warranty\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eDuraGo manufactures this rotor with full cast iron construction and a rust resistant coating to meet industry standards for durability and performance.
