Raybestos Element3; Coated Rotor Product Line Details

The Element3; Coated Rotor line from Raybestos focuses on providing rotors with a protective coating that helps prevent rust and corrosion, which can degrade braking performance over time. This coating extends the rotor’s service life while maintaining the structural integrity required for vented rotors. The 681994FZN part benefits from this technology, ensuring dependable braking for compatible Ford and Lincoln vehicles.

Technical Specifications and Features

This disc brake rotor features a vented design that enhances heat dissipation during braking, reducing the risk of brake fade. The rotor’s nominal thickness is 0.984 inches (25.000 mm), with a discard thickness of 0.906 inches (23.000 mm), indicating when replacement is necessary to maintain safe braking. The rotor has an outside diameter of 13.189 inches (335.000 mm) and an overall height of 1.921 inches (48.800 mm). It includes 5 mounting bolt holes arranged on a 108 mm bolt circle diameter, with a center hole diameter of 2.500 inches (63.500 mm). The smooth surface type ensures consistent contact with brake pads for effective stopping power.

Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or warped rotors on Ford Focus and Lincoln MKC
• Addresses brake noise caused by uneven rotor surfaces
• Helps reduce brake fade from overheating during extended use
• Prevents corrosion-related rotor damage with coated surface
• Restores proper rotor thickness for safe braking performance

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the Raybestos 681994FZN rotor, ensure the mounting surface is clean and free of debris to promote proper fitment. Verify the rotor thickness before installation to confirm it meets minimum specifications. Use the correct torque settings for the 5 mounting bolts to avoid rotor warping. It is recommended to replace brake pads simultaneously to ensure even wear and optimal braking efficiency.
