Detailed Product Features and Specifications

This Dynamite Friction DFC Brake Rotor (part number 633-54179L) is constructed with a vented rotor design that helps dissipate heat more effectively than solid rotors, reducing the risk of brake fade during extended use. The rotor surface is both drilled and slotted, which aids in channeling away brake dust, gases, and water, improving braking consistency in various driving conditions. The directional surface pattern is optimized for the specified rotation direction, ensuring maximum performance and longevity.

The rotor’s hat is finished with a black zinc coating, providing rust resistance and durability against environmental exposure. With a nominal thickness of 26 mm and a discard thickness of 24.5 mm, this rotor meets the necessary specifications for safe replacement. The 5-lug bolt pattern with a 114.3 mm bolt circle diameter and 13.7 mm bolt hole diameter ensures proper fitment on compatible Ford Explorer and Mercury Mountaineer models.
