• Conventional rotor construction, full cast
• Center hole diameter: 2.83 inches (72 mm)

Detailed Product Description

The DuraGo BR900636 disc brake rotor is engineered with a full cast iron construction, providing a balance of durability and thermal management. Its vented design allows air to circulate between the rotor surfaces, reducing heat buildup during braking and helping to maintain consistent stopping power. The rotor measures 12.6 inches in diameter and features a nominal thickness of 1.1 inches, with a discard thickness of 1.02 inches, ensuring it meets the wear limits for safe operation. This rotor is designed with five mounting bolt holes on a 4.5-inch bolt circle diameter, compatible with the Ford Edge and Lincoln MKX brake assemblies. The non-directional brake surface allows for flexible installation without concern for rotor orientation.

Compatible Vehicles and Applications

• Ford Edge (specific model years requiring 320 mm vented rotors)
• Lincoln MKX (models compatible with 12.6 inch vented rotors)

This rotor is intended for use in disc brake systems where a vented, conventional rotor is specified. It is suitable for replacing worn or damaged rotors to restore proper braking performance and safety.

Common Issues Addressed by This Rotor

• Brake pulsation caused by warped rotors
• Reduced braking efficiency due to worn rotor thickness
• Overheating and brake fade from insufficient rotor cooling
• Noise and vibration from uneven rotor surfaces
• Corrosion-related rotor surface degradation (note: this rotor does not have rust-resistant coating)

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the DuraGo BR900636 rotor, ensure the rotor thickness is above the discard thickness of 1.02 inches to maintain safety standards. Clean the rotor surface to remove any protective coatings or debris before installation. Use proper torque specifications for the five mounting bolts on the 4.5-inch bolt circle. Since this rotor is non-directional, it can be installed on either side without concern for rotation direction. Verify compatibility with ABS sensors as this rotor does not include an ABS tone ring.

Quality Assurance and Warranty

DuraGo manufactures the BR900636 rotor to meet OEM specifications for Ford Edge and Lincoln MKX vehicles. The cast iron construction and vented design are tested for durability and performance under typical driving conditions. While this product does not include a rust-resistant coating, it is engineered for consistent braking performance. Warranty coverage details should be confirmed with the point of purchase or manufacturer documentation.
