• Reduced braking consistency from a rotor at or near discard thickness
• Corrosion or scoring on the rear braking surface
• Service replacement for listed Ford Escort, Mazda Miata, Mazda Protege, Mazda MX-3, or Mercury Tracer rear brake applications

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm rotor dimensions, bolt pattern, and rear application before installation. For Mazda Protege, Ford Escort, and Mercury Tracer listings that specify front caliper casting number 22-14, verify that caliper detail before ordering. For 2001-2002 Mazda Miata, this rotor is listed for normal suspension only. Inspect pads, calipers, and hub surfaces during brake service to help ensure proper rotor seating and even wear.
