Detailed Product Description

The DuraGo BR900738 disc brake rotor is constructed from full cast iron, providing a robust and durable braking surface for your BMW X5. Its vented design allows air to flow between the rotor faces, helping to dissipate heat more effectively during braking. This reduces the risk of brake fade and maintains consistent stopping power under demanding conditions. The rotor measures 14.02 inches (356 mm) in outside diameter and has a nominal thickness of 1.42 inches (36 mm), with a discard thickness of 1.35 inches (34.4 mm), ensuring it meets the precise specifications required for safe operation.

With a 5-bolt mounting pattern and a bolt circle diameter of 4.72 inches (120 mm), this rotor is engineered for direct compatibility with BMW X5 models. The non-directional brake surface allows for flexible installation without concern for rotor orientation. Note that this rotor does not include an ABS tone ring and is a conventional type rotor rather than a drum-in-hat design.

Common Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or warped rotors causing brake pulsation or noise
• Restores proper rotor thickness to maintain braking efficiency
• Addresses overheating issues by improving heat dissipation with vented design
• Eliminates uneven pad wear due to rotor surface irregularities
• Ensures safe and reliable braking performance for BMW X5 vehicles

Installation Notes and Tips

• Verify rotor dimensions and bolt pattern match your BMW X5 before installation
• Inspect brake pads and hardware; replace if worn to ensure optimal performance
• Clean rotor surface with brake cleaner to remove any protective coating before installation
• Torque mounting bolts to manufacturer specifications to avoid rotor warping
• Perform a bed-in procedure after installation to optimize rotor and pad contact
