Technical Details and Construction

The DuraGo BR901698 rotor features a full cast construction made from cast iron, providing a balance of durability and thermal conductivity. Its vented design allows air to flow between the rotor surfaces, helping to dissipate heat generated during braking. This reduces the risk of brake fade and maintains consistent braking performance under various driving conditions. The rotor does not include an ABS tone ring and is designed as a conventional, non-directional rotor, making it compatible with the original braking system setup on Buick Enclave, Cadillac XT5, and XT6 models.

Compatible Vehicles and Applications

This disc brake rotor is compatible with the following vehicles:

• Buick Enclave
• Cadillac XT5
• Cadillac XT6

It is intended for drivers seeking a direct replacement rotor that meets factory specifications for these models. The part number BR901698 ensures precise fitment and reliable braking performance.

Common Issues Addressed by This Rotor

• Brake pulsation or vibration due to warped rotors
• Reduced braking efficiency from worn or thin rotors
• Overheating and brake fade during extended use
• Noise or squealing caused by uneven rotor surfaces
• Corrosion-related rotor damage (note: this rotor does not have rust-resistant coating)

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the DuraGo BR901698 rotor, ensure the mounting surface is clean and free of debris to prevent uneven rotor seating. Verify the rotor thickness before installation; replace if below the discard thickness of 1.06 inches (27 mm). Since this rotor is non-directional, it can be installed on either side without concern for rotation direction. Use proper torque specifications for the 6 mounting bolts to secure the rotor firmly. It is recommended to inspect brake pads and hardware during rotor replacement for optimal braking system performance.
