• Vented rotor design to improve cooling and reduce brake fade
• Nominal thickness of 0.75 inches (19 mm) with discard thickness at 0.69 inches (17.5 mm)
• Outside diameter of 13.58 inches (345 mm) suitable for specified vehicle fitments
• Five mounting bolt holes with a 4.5 inch (114.3 mm) bolt circle diameter
• Non-directional brake surface for versatile installation
• Conventional rotor type without cross-drilling or slotting

Detailed Product Description

The DuraGo BR901160 disc brake rotor is constructed from full cast iron, providing a balance of durability and thermal management essential for braking systems. Its vented design allows air to circulate between the rotor surfaces, helping to dissipate heat generated during braking and reducing the risk of brake fade under normal driving conditions. With a nominal thickness of 0.75 inches and a discard thickness of 0.69 inches, this rotor meets the specifications required for safe and effective braking performance.

Measuring 13.58 inches in diameter and featuring five mounting bolt holes spaced on a 4.5 inch bolt circle, the BR901160 is compatible with various Ford and Lincoln vehicles, including the Ford Explorer, Flex, and Taurus, as well as the Lincoln MKS and MKT. The rotor’s non-directional surface allows for flexible installation without concern for rotation direction, and its conventional construction means it does not include features like cross-drilling or slotting.

Compatible Vehicles and Applications

• Ford Explorer (multiple model years)
• Ford Flex
• Ford Taurus
• Lincoln MKS
• Lincoln MKT

This rotor is designed to replace worn or damaged rotors on these vehicles, restoring braking efficiency and safety.

Common Issues Addressed by This Rotor

• Brake pulsation or vibration due to warped rotors
• Reduced braking performance from worn or thin rotors
• Overheating and brake fade during extended braking
• Noise or squealing caused by uneven rotor surfaces
• Corrosion-related rotor damage (note: this rotor does not have rust-resistant coating)

Installation Notes and Tips

• Ensure rotor thickness is above discard thickness before installation
• Clean mounting surfaces to prevent rotor runout
• Torque lug nuts to manufacturer specifications for proper fitment
• Inspect brake pads and replace if worn to ensure optimal rotor performance
• Check for ABS sensor clearance as this rotor does not include an ABS tone ring

Quality Assurance and Warranty

DuraGo rotors are manufactured to meet or exceed OEM specifications for fit, form, and function. The BR901160 rotor undergoes quality control processes to ensure consistent performance. While this product does not include a rust-resistant coating, its full cast iron construction provides reliable durability. Warranty coverage details should be confirmed with the point of purchase or manufacturer documentation.
