Product Line Details: Element3; Coated Rotor

The Element3; Coated Rotor line by Raybestos focuses on providing rotors with a protective coating that helps prevent rust and corrosion, extending the rotor's service life. This coating is especially beneficial for vehicles like the Ford Explorer and Mercury Mountaineer that may be exposed to varying weather conditions. The vented rotor design enhances cooling efficiency, reducing the risk of brake fade during extended use.

Technical Specifications and Features

This disc brake rotor features a vented design, which allows air to flow between the rotor surfaces, improving heat dissipation during braking. The nominal thickness of 1.025 inches (26.05 mm) ensures structural integrity, while the discard thickness of 0.965 inches (24.5 mm) indicates when the rotor should be replaced to maintain safe braking performance. The rotor's 12.020 inch (305.3 mm) outside diameter and 2.210 inch (56.15 mm) overall height are engineered to match the original equipment specifications for the specified Ford and Mercury models. The five mounting bolt holes and corresponding bolt circle diameter of 4.5 inches (114.3 mm) ensure proper fitment and secure installation.

Common Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or warped rotors on Ford Explorer and Mercury Mountaineer
• Addresses brake noise caused by rust or corrosion buildup
• Improves braking performance by restoring proper rotor thickness
• Helps reduce brake fade through vented rotor design
• Prevents premature rotor failure due to rust with coated surface

Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure the rotor surface and hub are clean and free of debris before installation. Verify the rotor thickness is above the discard thickness specification of 0.965 inches (24.5 mm) before use. Use proper torque specifications for the five mounting bolts to avoid rotor warping. It is recommended to replace brake pads simultaneously to ensure optimal braking performance. The vented design requires clearance in the caliper assembly, so confirm compatibility with your vehicle’s brake system.

Quality Assurance and Warranty

Raybestos Element3; Coated Rotors are manufactured to meet or exceed OEM standards for fit, form, and function. The protective coating helps extend rotor life by resisting rust and corrosion. While specific warranty details may vary, Raybestos typically offers a limited warranty against defects in material and workmanship. Always consult product documentation or the manufacturer for exact warranty terms.
