Technical Specifications and Features

The 96954R rotor features a vented design that enhances heat dissipation during braking, reducing the risk of brake fade. Its nominal thickness of 0.935 inches (23.750 mm) ensures a robust braking surface, while the discard thickness of 0.882 inches (22.400 mm) provides a clear threshold for rotor replacement. The rotor’s overall height of 1.610 inches (40.900 mm) and outside diameter of 10.080 inches (256.050 mm) are engineered for compatibility with vehicles requiring a 4-bolt mounting pattern and a 100 mm bolt circle diameter. The center hole diameter of 2.365 inches (60.050 mm) ensures proper alignment on the hub, critical for balanced braking performance.

Common Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or warped rotors causing brake pulsation
• Upgrading from solid to vented rotors for improved heat management
• Addressing rotor thickness below manufacturer discard limits
• Resolving uneven brake pad wear due to rotor surface irregularities
• Ensuring proper fitment for vehicles requiring a 4-bolt, 100 mm bolt circle rotor

Installation Notes and Tips

Before installation, verify the rotor dimensions against your vehicle’s specifications, including bolt hole pattern and center hole diameter. Clean the rotor surface to remove any protective coating or debris. Use proper torque specifications on mounting bolts to avoid rotor warping. It is recommended to replace brake pads simultaneously to ensure even wear and optimal braking performance.

Quality Assurance and Warranty

Raybestos R-Line rotors are manufactured to meet stringent quality standards, ensuring consistent thickness and material integrity. While specific warranty details for part number 96954R should be confirmed with the supplier, Raybestos typically offers limited warranties covering defects in materials and workmanship. Proper installation and maintenance are essential to maximize rotor lifespan and performance.
