Detailed Product Description

This Raybestos disc brake rotor features a vented design that enhances heat dissipation, reducing the risk of brake fade during prolonged braking. The rotor's nominal thickness of 1.025 inches (26.050 mm) ensures a solid braking surface, while the discard thickness of 0.945 inches (24.000 mm) indicates when replacement is necessary to maintain safety. With an overall height of 1.845 inches (46.850 mm) and an outside diameter of 11.925 inches (302.900 mm), this rotor fits precisely on compatible vehicles. The five mounting bolt holes and stud/lug holes provide secure attachment, and the center hole diameter of 2.837 inches (72.050 mm) ensures proper rotor alignment on the hub. This conventional rotor type is designed for vehicles equipped with drum-in-hat braking systems.

Common Applications and Issues Addressed

• Replacement for worn or warped rotors on Ford Escape, Mazda Tribute, and Mercury Mariner
• Improves braking performance by restoring proper rotor thickness and surface
• Reduces brake noise and vibration caused by uneven rotor wear
• Helps prevent brake fade during heavy-duty or extended braking
• Ensures safe and reliable stopping power for trucks and SUVs

Installation Notes and Tips

Before installation, verify rotor dimensions against your vehicle specifications to ensure compatibility. Clean the rotor surface and hub mounting area to remove rust or debris. Use proper torque specifications for mounting bolts to avoid rotor warping. It is recommended to replace brake pads simultaneously to optimize braking performance. After installation, perform a bed-in procedure to ensure even pad and rotor contact.
