Overview of DuraGo BR901578 Disc Brake Rotor

The DuraGo BR901578 is a vented disc brake rotor designed specifically for Dodge Durango and Jeep Grand Cherokee models. Crafted from durable cast iron, this rotor offers reliable braking performance with a slotted design to help maintain consistent stopping power under various driving conditions.

• Material: Cast iron for durability and heat dissipation
• Vented rotor construction to reduce heat buildup
• Slotted brake surface for improved pad bite and debris removal
• Nominal thickness of 1.34 inches (34 mm) with discard thickness at 1.26 inches (32 mm)
• Overall diameter of 14.96 inches (380 mm) with 5 mounting bolt holes
• Non-directional braking surface for flexible installation
• Conventional rotor type compatible with standard brake systems

Detailed Product Description

The DuraGo BR901578 disc brake rotor is engineered with a full cast iron construction, providing a solid and reliable braking surface. Its vented design allows air to flow between the rotor faces, helping to dissipate heat more effectively during braking. This feature is critical for maintaining brake performance and reducing the risk of rotor warping under heavy use. The slotted surface enhances brake pad contact by channeling away dust, gas, and water, which can improve braking consistency and reduce noise.

With an outside diameter of 14.96 inches (380 mm) and a nominal thickness of 1.34 inches (34 mm), this rotor meets the specifications required for Dodge Durango and Jeep Grand Cherokee vehicles. The 5 mounting bolt holes with a 5-inch (127 mm) bolt circle diameter ensure proper fitment and secure installation. The non-directional brake surface allows for flexible rotor placement without concern for rotation direction.

Compatible Vehicles and Applications

This rotor is compatible with the following vehicles:

• Dodge Durango
• Jeep Grand Cherokee

It is designed to replace worn or damaged rotors and restore braking efficiency for these models.

Common Issues Addressed by This Rotor

• Brake pulsation caused by warped rotors
• Reduced braking performance due to worn or thin rotors
• Excessive brake noise from glazed or uneven rotor surfaces
• Overheating and brake fade during heavy braking
• Uneven pad wear resulting from rotor surface irregularities

Installation Notes and Tips

• Ensure the rotor thickness is above the discard thickness of 1.26 inches (32 mm) before installation
• Clean the rotor surface to remove any protective coating or debris prior to mounting
• Check wheel hub and mounting surfaces for rust or damage to ensure proper rotor seating
• Tighten mounting bolts to manufacturer torque specifications to avoid rotor warping
• Inspect brake pads and replace if worn to maximize rotor performance
