• Replacement rotor for Ford Escort models requiring a 235 mm vented rotor
• Suitable for Mazda 323 and Protege vehicles with matching bolt pattern and dimensions
• Compatible with Mercury Tracer brake systems needing a vented disc rotor
• Addresses rotor wear and thickness below discard limits
• Helps resolve issues related to brake noise and uneven rotor surface

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the Dynamite Friction 604-54001 rotor, ensure the rotor thickness is measured to confirm it meets the nominal 22 mm specification. Replace the rotor if thickness is at or below the 20 mm discard limit. Properly torque the four 13 mm bolt holes to manufacturer specifications to maintain secure fitment. The vented design requires clearance for airflow, so verify hub and caliper compatibility before installation.
