Element3; Coated Rotor Product Line Features

The Element3; Coated Rotor line from Raybestos focuses on corrosion resistance and extended rotor life through a protective coating. This coating helps reduce rust buildup on the rotor surface and hat area, which is particularly beneficial for vehicles exposed to moisture and road salt. The 780457FZN rotor benefits from this coating, maintaining structural integrity and appearance over time while providing consistent braking performance.

Applications and Common Issues Addressed

• Replacement for worn or warped rotors on Chrysler 200 and Dodge Avenger
• Restores braking efficiency on Jeep Compass and Liberty models
• Addresses rotor thickness below discard limits on Mitsubishi Lancer and Sebring
• Solves issues related to parking brake drum wear in drum-in-hat rotor setups
• Prevents corrosion-related rotor surface degradation

Installation Notes and Tips

• Verify rotor thickness before installation; replace if below 0.330 inch (8.400 mm)
• Ensure mounting bolt hole circle diameter matches 114.3 mm (4.5 inches) for proper fit
• Inspect parking brake components integrated within the drum-in-hat rotor
• Follow manufacturer torque specifications for mounting bolts
• Check for even rotor surface and absence of warping during installation
