Element3; Coated Rotor Product Line Details

The Element3; Coated Rotor line by Raybestos features rotors with a protective coating designed to resist corrosion and extend rotor life. This coating helps maintain a clean surface and consistent braking performance over time. The 780961FZN rotor incorporates these benefits while providing a vented design for improved heat dissipation, suitable for demanding driving conditions on Dodge and Jeep vehicles.

Technical Specifications and Features

This disc brake rotor is vented to enhance cooling and reduce brake fade during extended use. The drum-in-hat design integrates a parking brake drum within the rotor, eliminating the need for a separate drum assembly. With a smooth surface finish, the rotor ensures consistent pad contact and braking efficiency. The rotor measures 350 mm in outside diameter and 28 mm in nominal thickness, with a discard thickness of 26 mm, indicating when replacement is necessary to maintain safety and performance.

Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or warped rotors on Dodge Charger Daytona, Durango, and Jeep Grand Cherokee
• Addresses brake noise and vibration issues caused by uneven rotor surfaces
• Improves heat dissipation to reduce brake fade during heavy braking
• Restores proper parking brake function with integrated drum-in-hat design
• Prevents corrosion-related rotor degradation with protective coating

Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure the rotor thickness is above the discard thickness of 26.000 mm before installation. Clean the mounting surface and verify the 5-bolt hole pattern matches the vehicle specifications. Proper torque on mounting bolts is essential to avoid rotor warping. The smooth surface type requires compatible brake pads for optimal performance. Check the center hole diameter of 72.000 mm for correct hub fitment.
