Detailed Product Description

This Raybestos disc brake rotor, part number 56828FZN, is specifically designed for use on Chevrolet and GMC heavy-duty trucks and vans, including models such as the Avalanche 2500, Express 2500/3500, Savana 2500/3500, Sierra 1500 through 3500 HD variants, Silverado 1500 through 3500 HD variants, Suburban 2500, and Yukon XL 2500. The rotor features a vented design to improve heat dissipation during braking, reducing the risk of brake fade under heavy load conditions.

The drum-in-hat configuration integrates a parking brake drum within the rotor, providing a compact and efficient braking solution. With an outside diameter of 13 inches and an overall height of 3.65 inches, this rotor fits the specified vehicles' brake assemblies precisely. The nominal thickness of 1.142 inches ensures structural integrity, while the discard thickness of 1.063 inches indicates the minimum safe thickness before replacement is necessary.

Element3; Coated Rotor Product Line

The Element3; Coated Rotor line by Raybestos is designed to offer enhanced corrosion resistance and extended rotor life through a specialized coating process. This coating helps protect the rotor surface from rust and environmental damage, which is particularly beneficial for vehicles operating in harsh conditions. The 56828FZN rotor benefits from this coating, maintaining performance and appearance over time.

Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or warped rotors on Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD and GMC Sierra 3500 HD
• Addresses brake noise and vibration issues caused by uneven rotor surfaces
• Improves heat dissipation to reduce brake fade during heavy towing or hauling
• Restores proper parking brake function with integrated drum-in-hat design
• Prevents premature rotor corrosion in environments prone to moisture and road salt

Installation Notes and Tips

• Ensure rotor thickness is above discard thickness (1.063 inches) before installation
• Clean mounting surfaces and check bolt hole alignment for the 8-bolt pattern
• Use proper torque specifications for mounting bolts to avoid rotor warping
• Inspect brake pads and hardware for wear during rotor replacement
• Verify compatibility with vehicle make and model, including Chevrolet Avalanche 2500 and GMC Savana 3500
