Detailed Product Description

The DuraGo BR55093 disc brake rotor is constructed from full cast iron, providing a solid and reliable braking surface. Its vented design allows air to flow between the rotor faces, reducing heat buildup and minimizing brake fade during extended use. With a nominal thickness of 1.04 inches and a discard thickness of 0.91 inches, this rotor meets OEM specifications for thickness tolerances, ensuring safe and effective braking performance. The rotor features five mounting bolt holes spaced on a 4.33 inch bolt circle diameter, making it compatible with specific Chevrolet, Pontiac, and Saturn models including the Aura, Cobalt, G4, G5, G6, HHR, Ion, Malibu, and Pursuit.

Common Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or warped rotors causing brake pulsation
• Addressing reduced braking efficiency due to rotor thickness below discard limits
• Eliminating noise and vibration from uneven rotor surfaces
• Improving heat dissipation to prevent brake fade on daily driving
• Restoring proper rotor dimensions for safe brake pad contact

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the DuraGo BR55093 rotor, ensure the mounting surface is clean and free of rust or debris to maintain proper rotor alignment. This rotor does not include an ABS tone ring, so verify compatibility with your vehicle’s ABS system. Use a calibrated micrometer to check rotor thickness before installation and replace if below discard thickness. Torque mounting bolts to manufacturer specifications and inspect brake pads for wear during rotor replacement.
