Raybestos Element3; Coated Rotor Product Line Details

The Element3; Coated Rotor line from Raybestos focuses on providing rotors with a protective coating that helps resist corrosion and extends rotor life. This coating is particularly beneficial for vehicles like the Ford E-Transit and Transit series that operate in varied environments. The 682343FZN rotor maintains the structural integrity of a full cast rotor while offering enhanced surface protection.

Technical Specifications and Features

This disc brake rotor is constructed from cast iron, known for its durability and heat dissipation properties. The vented design allows air to flow between the rotor surfaces, reducing heat buildup during braking. With a nominal thickness of 1.299 inches and a discard thickness of 1.181 inches, this rotor meets the necessary safety standards for replacement. The rotor’s inside diameter measures 6.453 inches (163.900 mm), and the center hole diameter is 3.665 inches (93.100 mm), ensuring proper fitment on compatible Ford models. The mounting bolt hole diameter is 0.394 inches (10.000 mm), with five lug holes to secure the rotor firmly.

Compatible Vehicles and Applications

• Ford E-Transit
• Ford Transit-150
• Ford Transit-250
• Ford Transit-350
• Ford Transit-350 HD

This rotor is designed specifically for these Ford models, providing a direct replacement that meets OEM specifications.

Common Issues Addressed by This Rotor

• Brake rotor warping due to heat stress
• Corrosion and rust buildup on rotor surfaces
• Reduced braking efficiency from worn or thin rotors
• Brake noise caused by uneven rotor surfaces
• Vibration or pulsation during braking

Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure the rotor is installed on a clean, debris-free hub surface to prevent runout. Verify that the mounting bolt holes align correctly with the vehicle’s hub assembly. It is recommended to replace brake pads simultaneously to maintain optimal braking performance. Torque mounting bolts to manufacturer specifications and check rotor thickness before installation to confirm it is above the discard limit.

Quality Assurance and Warranty

Raybestos rotors, including the Element3; Coated Rotor 682343FZN, are manufactured to meet or exceed OEM standards for durability and performance. The cast iron construction and vented design contribute to consistent braking under demanding conditions. Warranty coverage details should be confirmed with the product documentation or manufacturer.
