Detailed Product Description and Specifications

The DuraGo BR901744 rotor is designed with a full cast iron construction, providing the necessary durability and thermal management required for effective braking. Its vented design helps dissipate heat during braking, reducing the risk of brake fade under demanding conditions. The drum-in-hat configuration integrates a drum brake surface within the rotor, suitable for vehicles equipped with rear drum parking brakes.

With an outside diameter of 15.75 inches (400 mm) and an overall height of 4.88 inches (124 mm), this rotor fits specific vehicle applications requiring these dimensions. The nominal thickness of 1.54 inches (39 mm) and discard thickness of 1.47 inches (37.4 mm) indicate the rotor's usable lifespan before replacement is necessary. The 10 mounting bolt holes, each 0.51 inches (13 mm) in diameter, are arranged on a 6.43 inch (163.2 mm) bolt circle diameter, ensuring secure attachment to the hub.

Common Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or warped rotors causing brake pulsation or noise
• Addressing rotor thickness below manufacturer specifications leading to reduced braking efficiency
• Upgrading to a vented rotor for improved heat dissipation in heavy-duty or towing applications
• Resolving issues with uneven brake pad wear due to rotor surface irregularities
• Compatible with vehicles requiring a drum-in-hat rotor design for rear brake assemblies

Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure the rotor surface is clean and free of debris before installation. Verify the mounting bolt pattern and rotor dimensions match the vehicle specifications. Since this rotor does not include an ABS tone ring, confirm compatibility with the vehicle’s ABS system. Proper torque specifications should be followed when securing the rotor to avoid warping. It is recommended to replace brake pads simultaneously to maintain optimal braking performance.
