Product Details and Specifications
This disc brake rotor is vented to allow air circulation between the rotor surfaces, reducing heat buildup during braking. The directional surface pattern, featuring both drilled holes and slots, aids in channeling away gases and dust generated by brake pad contact. The rotor measures 286 mm in outside diameter and 57.6 mm in overall height, with a nominal thickness of 26 mm and a discard thickness of 24.5 mm, ensuring it meets Ford Ranger specifications for safe operation. The rotor includes five bolt holes sized 1/2-20 with a bolt circle diameter of 114.3 mm, matching the vehicle's hub pattern precisely.
Applications and Problem Solving
- Reduces brake fade during heavy or repeated braking
- Improves braking response and pad bite on Ford Ranger models
- Helps prevent rotor warping caused by excessive heat
- Minimizes rust and corrosion with zinc silver hat finish and rust-resistant coating
- Maintains consistent braking performance in wet or dusty conditions
Installation Notes and Tips
Ensure the rotor surface is clean and free of any protective coatings before installation. Verify that the rotor thickness is above the discard thickness of 24.5 mm to maintain safety standards. Use proper torque specifications for the 1/2-20 bolt holes and confirm the rotor is mounted with the directional surface facing outward as indicated. It is recommended to replace brake pads when installing new rotors to optimize braking performance.
Quality Assurance
