• Overall height of 1.91 inches (48.5 mm) and outside diameter of 11.81 inches (300 mm)
• Five mounting bolt holes with a 4.25 inch (108 mm) bolt circle diameter
• Non-directional brake surface suitable for conventional braking systems
• Compatible with Ford C-Max, Escape and Volvo C30, C70, S40, V50 models

Detailed Product Description

The DuraGo BR900704 disc brake rotor is constructed from durable cast iron, providing a solid and reliable braking surface. 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 under heavy use. With a nominal thickness of 0.98 inches (25 mm) and a discard thickness of 0.91 inches (23 mm), this rotor meets OEM specifications for thickness and wear limits. The rotor features a conventional, non-directional braking surface, making it compatible with a wide range of brake pad types and installation orientations.

Measuring 11.81 inches (300 mm) in outside diameter and 1.91 inches (48.5 mm) in overall height, the BR900704 fits vehicles requiring a 5-bolt mounting pattern with a 4.25 inch (108 mm) bolt circle diameter. The center hole diameter is 2.5 inches (63.6 mm), ensuring proper hub fitment. This rotor does not include an ABS tone ring and does not have rust-resistant coating, so proper maintenance is recommended to prevent corrosion over time.

Compatible Vehicles and Applications

• Ford C-Max
• Ford Escape
• Volvo C30
• Volvo C70
• Volvo S40
• Volvo V50

Common Issues Addressed by This Rotor

• Brake rotor warping causing vibration during braking
• Excessive brake noise due to worn or uneven rotors
• Reduced braking efficiency from overheated or glazed rotors
• Uneven brake pad wear linked to rotor surface irregularities
• Brake pulsation caused by rotor thickness variation

Installation Notes and Tips

• Ensure rotor thickness is above discard thickness (0.91 inches) before installation
• Clean rotor surface to remove any protective coatings or debris
• Check hub surface for rust or debris to ensure proper rotor seating
• Torque mounting bolts to manufacturer specifications for secure fitment
• Inspect brake pads and replace if worn to prevent uneven rotor wear
