Reliable Disc Brake Rotor for Acura MDX and TLX

The DuraGo BR901318 disc brake rotor is engineered to provide consistent braking performance for Acura MDX and TLX models. Crafted from durable cast iron, this rotor is designed to meet the demands of everyday driving and maintain vehicle safety.

• Material: Cast iron for strength and heat dissipation
• Vented rotor design to improve cooling
• Nominal thickness: 1.1 inches (28 mm) with discard thickness at 1.02 inches (26 mm)
• Outside diameter: 12.6 inches (320 mm)
• Mounting bolt hole quantity: 5 with 4.5 inch (114.3 mm) bolt circle diameter
• Conventional, non-directional brake surface
• Overall height: 1.86 inches (47.2 mm)

Durable Construction and Design Features

The DuraGo BR901318 rotor features a full cast construction from high-quality cast iron, providing a solid and reliable braking surface. Its vented design allows for better heat dissipation during braking, reducing the risk of brake fade under normal driving conditions. The rotor’s dimensions, including a 12.6-inch outside diameter and 1.1-inch nominal thickness, ensure compatibility with specific Acura MDX and TLX brake systems. This rotor does not include an ABS tone ring and is designed with a conventional, non-directional braking surface for straightforward installation and maintenance.

Compatible Vehicles and Applications

This disc brake rotor is compatible with the following Acura models:

• Acura MDX
• Acura TLX

It is intended for use in replacing worn or damaged front or rear rotors on these vehicles, restoring proper braking function and safety.

Common Issues Addressed by This Rotor

• Brake rotor warping causing vibration during braking
• Excessive rotor wear leading to reduced braking efficiency
• Overheating and brake fade from insufficient heat dissipation
• Corrosion-related surface damage (note: this rotor does not have rust-resistant coating)
• Uneven braking due to damaged or scored rotors

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the DuraGo BR901318 rotor, ensure the mounting surface is clean and free of debris. Verify the rotor thickness before installation to confirm it meets the minimum discard thickness of 1.02 inches (26 mm). Use proper torque specifications for the 5 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 simultaneously to ensure optimal braking performance.

Quality Assurance and Warranty

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