Detailed Product Description

The DuraGo BR55098 disc brake rotor is specifically designed for Cadillac CTS and STS vehicles, ensuring compatibility and reliable braking performance. Constructed from full cast iron, this rotor offers a balance of strength and thermal conductivity. Its vented design allows air to flow between the rotor surfaces, helping to dissipate heat generated during braking and reducing the risk of brake fade. The rotor features a drum-in-hat design, integrating the parking brake drum into the rotor assembly, which is common in many Cadillac models. With a nominal thickness of 1.02 inches and a discard thickness of 0.94 inches, this rotor meets OEM specifications for safe operation and replacement intervals.

Common Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or warped rotors causing brake pulsation or noise
• Restores braking efficiency lost due to rotor surface damage or corrosion
• Addresses overheating issues by improving heat dissipation with vented design
• Compatible with parking brake systems requiring drum-in-hat rotors
• Ensures proper fitment for Cadillac CTS and STS models with 5-lug bolt pattern

Installation Notes and Tips

• Verify rotor thickness before installation to ensure it meets minimum discard thickness
• Clean mounting surfaces and hub to prevent rotor runout and vibration
• Torque mounting bolts to manufacturer specifications for secure fitment
• Inspect brake pads and calipers during rotor replacement for optimal braking system performance
• Non-directional rotor design allows installation on either side of the vehicle
