Product Details

Raybestos Specialty - Truck focuses on truck and SUV brake service, and the Raybestos 780518 follows that application-specific approach for Jeep front brake systems. This rotor uses a conventional, drum-in-hat style rotor format with a 5-bolt pattern, 127 mm bolt circle diameter, and 16.600 mm mounting bolt hole diameter. For shoppers searching for a front brake rotor for a 2018 Jeep Wrangler JK or a 2007-2017 Jeep Wrangler, this part matches the listed 302 mm front disc configuration.

This part cross-references Bosch 16010258 and Wagner Brake BD126540E for the same application.

Common Reasons to Replace

• Brake pulsation or steering wheel shake during stops
• Rotor scoring, grooves, or uneven wear on the braking surface
• Heat-related fade from repeated front brake use
• Thickness below service limits during brake inspection
• Noise or vibration traced to worn front rotors

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify rotor diameter, hub fit, and bolt pattern before installation. Measure the existing rotor and compare it to the listed 302 mm front disc specification, especially on Jeep Wrangler and Wrangler JK models. Clean the hub mounting surface before installing the new rotor, and inspect pads, calipers, and hardware condition at the same time to help restore even braking performance.

Quality Assurance

Raybestos brake components are built for application-specific fitment and dimensional accuracy. The 780518 is part of the Specialty - Truck line, which is aimed at truck and SUV brake service where correct rotor sizing and heat handling matter.
