Technical Specifications and Design Features

The DuraGo BR901622-01 rotor features a nominal thickness of 1.02 inches (26 mm) and a discard thickness of 0.91 inches (23 mm), ensuring safe and effective brake pad contact throughout its service life. Its vented design promotes airflow to dissipate heat efficiently, reducing the risk of brake fade during extended use. The rotor measures 11.81 inches (300 mm) in outside diameter with an overall height of 1.79 inches (45.5 mm), fitting precisely on vehicles requiring a 5-bolt mounting pattern with a 4.53 inch (115 mm) bolt circle diameter. The center hole diameter is 2.78 inches (70.7 mm), matching OEM specifications for proper hub fitment. This conventional, non-directional rotor does not include an ABS tone ring and is neither cross-drilled nor slotted, providing a straightforward replacement option for compatible models.

• Buick Encore GX
• Chevrolet Envista, Equinox, Malibu, Trailblazer, Trax
• GMC Terrain
• Buick LaCrosse, Regal Sportback, Regal TourX

It is designed to replace worn or damaged rotors, restoring braking efficiency and safety for these specific models.

Common Issues Addressed by This Rotor

• Brake pulsation caused by warped rotors
• Reduced braking performance due to worn rotor thickness
• Corrosion and rust buildup affecting rotor surface
• Overheating and brake fade during heavy braking
• Noise and vibration from uneven rotor wear

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the DuraGo BR901622-01 rotor, ensure the mounting surface is clean and free of debris to promote proper rotor seating. Verify the rotor thickness before installation to confirm it meets or exceeds the discard thickness specification of 0.91 inches (23 mm). Use the correct torque specifications for the 5 mounting bolts to avoid rotor distortion. Since this rotor is non-directional, it can be installed on either side of the vehicle without concern for rotation direction. Always inspect brake pads and hardware during rotor replacement to maintain optimal braking system performance.
