Product Details and Specifications

The DuraGo BR901160-01 rotor features a full cast iron construction that balances durability with effective heat dissipation, essential for maintaining braking performance during extended use. Its vented design allows air to circulate between the rotor surfaces, reducing the risk of brake fade caused by overheating. The rust-resistant coating helps protect the rotor from corrosion, which is particularly beneficial in regions with high humidity or road salt exposure.

With an outside diameter of 13.58 inches and a nominal thickness of 0.75 inches, this rotor meets the specifications required for proper fit and function on compatible vehicles. The 5-bolt mounting pattern with a 4.5 inch bolt circle diameter ensures secure attachment to the hub assembly. The non-directional brake surface allows for flexible installation without concern for rotor orientation.

Compatible Vehicles and Applications

• Ford Explorer
• Ford Flex
• Lincoln MKS
• Lincoln MKT
• Ford Taurus

This rotor is designed specifically for these Ford and Lincoln models, providing a direct replacement that maintains factory braking performance and safety standards.

Common Issues Addressed by This Rotor

• Brake rotor warping or uneven wear causing vibration during braking
• Reduced braking efficiency due to rotor thinning below discard thickness
• Corrosion and rust buildup affecting rotor surface and brake pad contact
• Overheating and brake fade from insufficient heat dissipation
• Noise and pulsation caused by damaged or worn rotors

Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure the rotor surface and hub mounting area are clean and free of debris before installation. Verify the rotor thickness is within nominal specifications and above discard thickness limits. Use proper torque specifications for mounting bolts to avoid rotor distortion. Since this rotor is non-directional, it can be installed on either side without concern for rotation direction. It is recommended to replace brake pads when installing new rotors to ensure optimal braking performance.
