About the Raybestos Element3; Coated Rotor Line

The Element3; Coated Rotor line from Raybestos features rotors with a protective coating designed to resist corrosion and extend rotor life. This coating helps maintain rotor integrity and appearance over time, making it suitable for vehicles like the Ford Escape, Mazda Tribute, and Mercury Mariner that require reliable braking components under various driving conditions.

Technical Details and Specifications

This disc brake rotor is a vented type, which enhances heat dissipation during braking to reduce the risk of brake fade. The nominal thickness of 1.025 inches (26.050 mm) ensures durability, while the discard thickness of 0.945 inches (24.000 mm) indicates the minimum safe thickness before replacement is necessary. The rotor’s outside diameter of 11.925 inches (302.900 mm) and overall height of 1.845 inches (46.850 mm) are designed to match the original equipment specifications for proper fitment. The rotor features five mounting bolt holes arranged on a 4.500 inch (114.300 mm) bolt circle diameter, compatible with the specified vehicle models.

Common Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or warped rotors on Ford Escape, Mazda Tribute, and Mercury Mariner
• Addresses brake noise and vibration issues caused by uneven rotor surfaces
• Improves braking performance by restoring proper rotor thickness and surface condition
• Helps prevent brake fade through vented rotor design
• Resolves corrosion-related rotor degradation with protective coating

Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure the rotor thickness is measured before installation to confirm it meets or exceeds the nominal thickness of 1.025 inches. Clean the hub surface and mounting area to prevent rotor runout. Use proper torque specifications on the five mounting bolts arranged on the 4.500 inch bolt circle diameter. It is recommended to replace brake pads simultaneously to ensure optimal braking performance. Verify compatibility with Ford Escape, Mazda Tribute, or Mercury Mariner models before installation.
