• Non-directional brake surface for versatile installation
• Conventional rotor type without ABS tone ring

Detailed Product Description

The DuraGo BR901198 disc brake rotor is constructed from full cast iron, providing a solid and durable braking surface. Its vented design enhances airflow to reduce heat buildup during braking, which helps maintain consistent stopping power and reduces the risk of rotor warping. With a nominal thickness of 1.1 inches and a discard thickness of 1.02 inches, this rotor offers a balance between longevity and performance. The 12.01-inch outside diameter and 5 mounting bolt holes with a 4.33-inch bolt circle diameter ensure proper fitment on compatible Chrysler 200 and Dodge Dart models. This rotor features a non-directional brake surface, allowing for flexible installation without concern for rotor orientation.

Compatible Vehicles and Applications

• Chrysler 200 (200 model year)
• Dodge Dart (200 model year)

This rotor is intended for use in standard braking systems without ABS tone rings and is suitable for vehicles requiring conventional, vented rotors. It addresses common braking issues such as rotor wear, vibration, and heat-related performance loss.

Common Issues Addressed by This Rotor

• Brake rotor warping due to heat buildup
• Reduced braking efficiency from worn or thin rotors
• Brake noise caused by uneven rotor surfaces
• Vibration or pulsation during braking
• Corrosion-related rotor degradation (note: this rotor does not have rust-resistant coating)

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the DuraGo BR901198 rotor, ensure the rotor thickness is above the discard thickness of 1.02 inches to maintain safe braking performance. Clean the rotor surface before installation to remove any protective coatings or debris. Since this rotor is non-directional, it can be installed on either side without concern for orientation. Verify that the mounting bolt holes align correctly with the vehicle’s hub assembly. It is recommended to replace brake pads simultaneously to ensure optimal braking results.

Quality Assurance and Warranty

DuraGo manufactures this rotor to meet industry standards for durability and performance. The full cast iron construction and vented design contribute to consistent braking under normal operating conditions. While this rotor does not include a rust-resistant coating, proper maintenance can help extend its service life. Warranty coverage details should be confirmed with the product documentation or manufacturer.
