• Full cast construction for structural integrity
• Outside diameter of 300 mm (11.81 inches)
• Nominal thickness of 22 mm (0.87 inches) with discard thickness at 19.4 mm (0.76 inches)
• Drum-in-hat type rotor with 5 mounting bolt holes
• Non-directional brake surface for versatile installation
• Compatible with Mercedes-Benz CL500, S430, and S500 models

Technical Details and Construction

The BR900896 rotor is made from cast iron, a material known for its durability and ability to withstand high temperatures generated during braking. Its vented design allows air to flow between the rotor surfaces, reducing heat buildup and helping to maintain braking efficiency. The full cast construction ensures the rotor maintains its shape and strength under stress. With an outside diameter of 300 mm and a nominal thickness of 22 mm, this rotor meets the specifications required for proper fitment and performance on Mercedes-Benz CL500, S430, and S500 vehicles. The drum-in-hat design integrates the parking brake drum into the rotor, providing a compact and efficient braking solution.

Compatible Vehicles and Applications

This DuraGo disc brake rotor is specifically compatible with the following Mercedes-Benz models:

• Mercedes-Benz CL500
• Mercedes-Benz S430
• Mercedes-Benz S500

It is designed to replace original equipment rotors with matching mounting bolt hole patterns and dimensions, ensuring a secure fit and proper function.

Common Issues Addressed by This Rotor

• Brake rotor warping causing vibration during braking
• Excessive rotor wear leading to reduced braking performance
• Overheating and brake fade under heavy use
• Corrosion and surface damage affecting rotor lifespan
• Incompatibility with drum-in-hat parking brake systems

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the DuraGo BR900896 rotor, ensure the mounting surface is clean and free of debris. Verify the rotor thickness before installation to confirm it is above the discard thickness of 19.4 mm. Use proper torque specifications for the 5 mounting bolts to avoid rotor distortion. Since this rotor does not include an ABS tone ring, confirm compatibility with your vehicle’s ABS system. The non-directional brake surface allows installation on either side without concern for rotor orientation.
