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 nominal thickness of 1.260 inches (32.000 mm) and discard thickness of 1.201 inches (30.500 mm) define the usable rotor thickness range, ensuring safe operation within manufacturer guidelines. The rotor’s outside diameter measures 13.858 inches (352.000 mm), with an inside diameter of 9.441 inches (239.800 mm), fitting precisely on compatible vehicles. It includes five mounting bolt holes with a bolt circle diameter of 4.500 inches (114.300 mm) and a center hole diameter of 2.677 inches (68.000 mm), designed for secure installation.

Common Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or warped rotors on Ford Explorer, Flex, Taurus and Lincoln MKS, MKT
• Addresses brake noise and vibration caused by uneven rotor surfaces
• Helps restore braking performance diminished by rotor thickness below discard limits
• Prevents rust-related rotor degradation with coated surface
• Improves heat management to reduce brake fade during heavy use

Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure the rotor thickness is measured before installation to confirm it meets or exceeds the nominal thickness of 1.260 inches. Clean the mounting surface and hub to prevent uneven rotor seating. Use proper torque specifications for the five mounting bolts to avoid rotor warping. The vented design requires clearance for airflow, so verify compatibility with caliper and wheel components. It is recommended to replace brake pads simultaneously to ensure optimal braking performance.
