About the Power Stop - Front Genuine Geomet Coated Rotor Line

This rotor is part of the Power Stop - Front Genuine Geomet Coated Rotor line, which features rotors coated with a Geomet rust-resistant finish. This coating helps protect the rotor surface from corrosion and rust, maintaining braking efficiency and rotor integrity over time. The vented design enhances heat dissipation, reducing the risk of brake fade during extended use.

Detailed Product Description

The AR8179EVC rotor is a vented disc brake rotor with an outside diameter of 315 mm and a nominal thickness of 27.90 mm. Its vented construction allows for better airflow, which helps dissipate heat generated during braking. The Geomet coating provides a protective layer against rust and corrosion, which is especially beneficial for vehicles exposed to moisture and road salts. The rotor’s mounting bolt hole circle diameter measures 114.30 mm with 5 lug holes, ensuring a secure fit on compatible Ford and Mercury front brake assemblies.

Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or warped front rotors on Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable
• Addresses brake noise and vibration caused by uneven rotor surfaces
• Helps prevent rust buildup that can reduce braking efficiency
• Improves heat management to reduce brake fade during heavy braking
• Restores proper rotor thickness for safe braking performance

Installation Notes and Tips

• Ensure rotor thickness is above discard thickness of 26.40 mm before installation
• Clean mounting surface to prevent rotor runout and vibration
• Torque lug nuts to manufacturer specifications for secure fitment
• Inspect brake pads and replace if worn to ensure optimal rotor performance
• Follow vehicle-specific service manual for proper installation procedures
