Product Line Details

Common Brake Service Issues

• Rear brake noise during stops
• Rust buildup on exposed rotor surfaces
• Uneven pad bedding after brake service
• Brake vibration caused by rotor finish or balance issues
• Reduced pedal confidence from worn rotors and pads

Installation Notes

Before ordering, verify rear caliper type and vehicle production date where noted, especially on Mercedes-Benz 300SD and 300SE applications. Clean the rotor surface only as needed for final prep, since the GEOSPEC coating is shipped dry and is removed naturally by the pads during use. Follow standard brake service procedures and confirm proper pad bedding after installation. This part cross-references 172286 and 182286 for the same application.

Quality Assurance

Each DFC GEOSPEC rotor is machined to OE specifications, checked for critical dimensions, and inspected for balance where applicable. The rotors include a 12-month warranty against defects in material and workmanship.
