Detailed Description

The DFC Brake Rotor product line from Dynamite Friction focuses on replacement brake rotor applications with fitment-specific sizing. This rotor uses a vented design to support front brake service on the listed vehicles, including Buick LaCrosse, Buick Regal, Chevrolet Malibu, Chevrolet Malibu Limited, and Saab 9-5 models. The 296 mm diameter and 30 mm nominal thickness help match the original brake package dimensions called out for these applications, while the 27 mm discard thickness provides a clear wear limit reference during inspection. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Common Problems This Rotor Can Address

• Brake pulsation caused by rotor wear or uneven braking surfaces
• Reduced braking performance from a worn front disc rotor
• Rotor scoring, heat checking, or surface damage
• Brake noise related to an out-of-spec front rotor
• Service needs on vehicles requiring a 296 mm front disc rotor

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify rotor diameter, bolt pattern, and thickness before installation. This rotor is listed for front position use only, so confirm the vehicle is one of the specified Buick, Chevrolet, or Saab applications before ordering. During brake service, inspect pads, calipers, and hub surfaces, and measure rotor thickness against the discard specification to confirm replacement timing. For best results, follow the vehicle manufacturer’s brake service procedures and torque specifications.
