Raybestos R-Line Product Line Details

The R-Line by Raybestos focuses on delivering dependable brake components that meet or exceed OEM specifications. This product line emphasizes durability and consistent performance, making it suitable for drivers seeking reliable replacement rotors. The 96206R rotor benefits from this approach, providing a balance of quality materials and precise manufacturing standards.

Technical Specifications and Features

The 96206R rotor features a vented design that enhances cooling during braking, reducing the risk of brake fade under demanding conditions. Its nominal thickness of 0.395 inches ensures structural integrity, while the discard thickness of 0.315 inches indicates the minimum safe thickness before replacement is necessary. The rotor’s 10.230-inch outside diameter and 2.510-inch overall height are designed to fit specific vehicle brake assemblies requiring these dimensions. The four mounting bolt holes, each 0.495 inches in diameter, are arranged on a 4.5-inch bolt circle diameter, ensuring secure attachment to the hub. The center hole diameter of 2.528 inches allows proper alignment on the wheel hub.

Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or warped rotors causing brake pulsation
• Upgrading from solid to vented rotors for improved heat dissipation
• Addressing rotor thickness below manufacturer discard limits
• Resolving noise or vibration issues related to rotor surface irregularities
• Maintaining braking performance on vehicles requiring conventional vented rotors

Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure the rotor surface is clean and free of rust or debris before installation. Verify that the mounting bolt holes and center hole align precisely with the vehicle hub. Measure rotor thickness to confirm it meets or exceeds the nominal thickness specification. Use proper torque specifications for mounting bolts to avoid rotor warping. It is recommended to inspect brake pads and replace them if worn to maintain optimal braking performance.
