Technical Details and Construction

This DuraGo disc brake rotor features a full cast iron construction that balances durability with effective heat management. The vented design allows air to circulate between the rotor surfaces, reducing heat buildup during braking. With an overall height of 1.89 inches (48.1 mm) and a center hole diameter of 2.79 inches (70.8 mm), the rotor is engineered to meet the precise specifications required for Cadillac CTS and STS vehicles. The drum-in-hat design integrates the parking brake drum into the rotor, providing a compact and efficient braking solution.

Compatible Vehicles and Applications

Compatible with the following Cadillac models:

• Cadillac CTS
• Cadillac STS

This rotor is ideal for drivers seeking a direct replacement part that maintains factory specifications and performance standards.

Common Issues Addressed by This Rotor

• Brake pulsation caused by warped rotors
• Reduced braking efficiency due to worn or thin rotors
• Corrosion and rust buildup affecting rotor surface
• Overheating and brake fade during extended use
• Noise and vibration from uneven rotor wear

Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure the rotor surface is clean and free of debris before installation. Verify the rotor thickness is above the discard thickness of 0.94 inches (24 mm) to maintain safe braking performance. Use proper torque specifications for the 5 mounting bolts to secure the rotor firmly. Since this rotor does not include an ABS tone ring, confirm compatibility with your vehicle’s ABS system if applicable.
