Detailed Product Description

The DuraGo BR901546 disc brake rotor is engineered from full cast iron, providing a balance of strength and thermal conductivity essential for effective braking. Its solid rotor design is conventional, meaning it does not feature venting, slots, or cross-drilled holes, which makes it suitable for everyday driving conditions where durability and consistent performance are priorities. The rotor’s dimensions, including a 12.8-inch outside diameter and 5 mounting bolt holes arranged on a 4.41-inch bolt circle, ensure compatibility with Mercedes-Benz GLE300d, GLE350, ML250, and ML350 models. The nominal thickness of 0.55 inches allows for a substantial braking surface, while the discard thickness of 0.45 inches indicates when replacement is necessary to maintain safety and performance.

Compatible Vehicles and Applications

This disc brake rotor is compatible with the following Mercedes-Benz models:

• Mercedes-Benz GLE300d
• Mercedes-Benz GLE350
• Mercedes-Benz ML250
• Mercedes-Benz ML350

Common Issues Addressed by DuraGo BR901546

• Brake pulsation or vibration due to warped rotors
• Reduced braking performance from worn rotor surfaces
• Excessive brake noise caused by uneven rotor wear
• Brake fade during normal driving conditions
• Corrosion-related rotor surface degradation (note: this rotor does not have rust-resistant coating)

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the DuraGo BR901546 rotor, ensure the mounting surface is clean and free of debris to prevent uneven rotor seating. Use proper torque specifications for the 5 mounting bolts to avoid rotor warping. Since this rotor does not include an ABS tone ring, verify compatibility with your vehicle’s ABS system. It is recommended to replace brake pads simultaneously to optimize braking performance and rotor longevity.
