Detailed Product Description

The DuraGo BR901158-01 disc brake rotor is specifically designed for compatibility with Ford Explorer, Flex, MKS, MKT, and Taurus models, as well as select Lincoln vehicles. Constructed from cast iron, this rotor offers excellent thermal conductivity and durability, essential for maintaining braking efficiency. The vented design allows for better heat dissipation during braking, reducing the risk of rotor warping and brake fade. A rust-resistant coating protects the rotor surface from corrosion, helping to maintain optimal performance and appearance over time. With a nominal thickness of 1.26 inches and a discard thickness of 1.18 inches, this rotor meets OEM specifications for safe and effective braking.

Common Applications and Issues Addressed

• Replacement for worn or warped rotors causing brake pulsation
• Upgrading from solid to vented rotors for improved heat management
• Addressing rust and corrosion on existing brake rotors
• Ensuring proper fitment on Ford Explorer, Flex, MKS, MKT, and Taurus models
• Maintaining braking performance and safety standards

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the DuraGo BR901158-01 rotor, ensure the mounting surface is clean and free of debris to promote proper rotor seating. Verify the rotor thickness before installation to confirm it meets the minimum discard thickness of 1.18 inches. This rotor features a non-directional brake surface, allowing installation on either side without concern for rotation direction. Use the correct torque specifications for the five mounting bolts to avoid rotor distortion.
