About the Raybestos Element 3 Product Line

The Raybestos Element 3 line focuses on delivering reliable braking components that meet or exceed OEM specifications. This product line emphasizes quality materials and precise manufacturing processes to ensure consistent performance and durability. The 782961FZN rotor benefits from this approach, offering a full cast iron vented design that supports effective heat management and long service life.

Detailed Product Description

This disc brake rotor is constructed from full cast iron, providing a robust and wear-resistant surface for braking. The vented design enhances airflow between the rotor faces, reducing the risk of overheating during heavy braking. With a nominal thickness of 1.102 inches (28 mm) and a discard thickness of 1.024 inches (26 mm), this rotor maintains safe operational limits for extended use. The rotor’s outside diameter of 13.583 inches (345 mm) and inside diameter of 8.346 inches (212 mm) ensure proper fitment on compatible Dodge Hornet models. Featuring five mounting bolt holes with a 4.331-inch (110 mm) bolt circle diameter, it aligns precisely with factory specifications. The non-directional brake surface allows for flexible installation without concern for rotor orientation.

Common Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or warped rotors causing brake pulsation
• Addressing reduced braking efficiency due to rotor surface wear
• Eliminating noise and vibration from uneven rotor thickness
• Upgrading to a vented rotor for improved heat dissipation
• Restoring proper rotor dimensions to maintain safe braking performance

Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure the rotor surface and hub mounting area are clean and free of rust or debris before installation. Verify rotor thickness with a micrometer to confirm it meets minimum specifications. Use proper torque settings on mounting bolts to avoid rotor distortion. Since this rotor does not include bearings or ABS tone rings, reuse existing components or source separately as needed. Always inspect brake pads and related hardware during rotor replacement for optimal system performance.
