• Mounting bolt holes: 5 with 0.54 inch (13.8 mm) diameter
• Non-directional brake surface for versatile installation
• Conventional rotor type without ABS tone ring

Detailed Product Description

The DuraGo BR901800 disc brake rotor is constructed from full cast iron, providing a solid and durable braking surface. Its vented design enhances airflow to reduce heat buildup during braking, which helps maintain consistent stopping power and reduces the risk of brake fade. With a nominal thickness of 1.06 inches and a discard thickness of 0.98 inches, this rotor offers a balance between longevity and performance. The 12.13-inch outside diameter and 5-bolt mounting pattern ensure compatibility with specific Ford Bronco Sport and Escape models. The rotor features a non-directional braking surface, allowing for flexible installation without concern for rotor orientation.

Compatible Vehicles and Applications

• Ford Bronco Sport (compatible with models requiring 12.13-inch vented rotors)
• Ford Escape (compatible with models requiring 12.13-inch vented rotors)

This rotor is ideal for replacing worn or damaged rotors on these vehicles, restoring proper braking function and safety.

Common Issues Addressed by This Rotor

• Brake pulsation caused by warped rotors
• Reduced braking efficiency due to worn rotor thickness
• Overheating and brake fade from insufficient heat dissipation
• Noise and vibration from uneven rotor surfaces
• Corrosion-related rotor surface degradation (note: this rotor does not have rust-resistant coating)

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the DuraGo BR901800 rotor, ensure the mounting surface is clean and free of debris to prevent uneven rotor seating. Since this rotor is non-directional, it can be installed on either side without concern for orientation. Verify that the rotor thickness is above the discard thickness of 0.98 inches before installation. It is recommended to replace brake pads simultaneously to ensure optimal braking performance. Proper torque specifications for the 5 mounting bolts should be followed according to the vehicle manufacturer’s guidelines.

Quality Assurance and Warranty

DuraGo manufactures the BR901800 rotor to meet industry standards for durability and performance. While this rotor does not include a rust-resistant coating, its full cast iron construction provides reliable wear resistance under normal operating conditions. Warranty coverage details should be confirmed with the point of purchase or manufacturer documentation.
