DuraGo BR900486 Disc Brake Rotor - Rear

Overview of DuraGo BR900486 Disc Brake Rotor

The DuraGo BR900486 is a cast iron disc brake rotor designed specifically for Subaru B9 Tribeca and Tribeca models. Engineered to meet the demands of these vehicles, this rotor offers reliable braking performance with a vented, drum-in-hat construction.

• Material: Durable cast iron for consistent wear resistance
• Vented rotor design for improved heat dissipation
• Drum-in-hat type rotor with integrated parking brake drum
• Outside diameter of 12.6 inches (320 mm) for precise fitment
• Mounting bolt pattern: 5 holes with 4.5 inch (114.3 mm) bolt circle diameter
• Nominal thickness of 0.71 inches (18 mm) with discard thickness at 0.63 inches (16 mm)
• Overall height of 2.67 inches (67.7 mm)
• Non-directional brake surface for versatile installation

Detailed Product Description

The DuraGo BR900486 disc brake rotor is constructed from full cast iron, providing a balance of strength and thermal conductivity essential for effective braking. Its vented design allows air to flow between the rotor surfaces, reducing heat buildup during braking and helping to maintain consistent stopping power. The drum-in-hat construction integrates a parking brake drum, making it compatible with vehicles that use this combined rotor and drum setup.

With an outside diameter of 320 mm and a mounting bolt hole pattern of 5 holes spaced on a 114.3 mm bolt circle, this rotor is engineered to fit Subaru B9 Tribeca and Tribeca models precisely. The nominal thickness of 18 mm ensures durability, while the discard thickness of 16 mm indicates when the rotor should be replaced to maintain safe braking performance. The non-directional brake surface allows for flexible installation without concern for rotor orientation.

Compatible Vehicles and Applications

• Subaru B9 Tribeca
• Subaru Tribeca

This rotor is designed for use in the front or rear braking system where a drum-in-hat rotor is specified. It is suitable for addressing common braking issues such as rotor wear, vibration, and reduced braking efficiency.

Common Issues Addressed by DuraGo BR900486

• Brake rotor warping causing vibration during braking
• Excessive rotor wear leading to reduced thickness below safe limits
• Corrosion and surface damage affecting braking performance
• Noise or pulsation due to uneven rotor surfaces
• Parking brake functionality issues related to integrated drum wear

Installation Notes and Tips

• Ensure rotor thickness is above discard thickness before installation
• Clean mounting surfaces to prevent rotor runout and vibration
• Torque mounting bolts to manufacturer specifications for secure fitment
• Check compatibility with ABS sensors as this rotor does not include an ABS tone ring
• Inspect brake pads and replace if worn to ensure optimal rotor performance
