This coating helps extend rotor life by reducing rust and wear, which is particularly beneficial for vehicles exposed to varying weather conditions. The 96973FZN rotor maintains the structural integrity and performance standards expected from Raybestos while providing enhanced protection against environmental factors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Details and Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis disc brake rotor features a vented design that promotes efficient heat dissipation during braking, reducing the risk of brake fade. The nominal thickness of 0.945 inches (24.0 mm) ensures sufficient material for longevity, while the discard thickness of 0.882 inches (22.4 mm) indicates the minimum safe thickness before replacement is necessary. The rotor’s overall height of 1.775 inches (45.1 mm) and outside diameter of 10.080 inches (256.05 mm) are engineered to match the OEM specifications for the listed Mitsubishi and Nissan models. The 4 mounting bolt holes with a 3.937 inch (100 mm) bolt circle diameter provide secure installation and alignment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eApplications and Problem Solving\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReplacement for worn or warped rotors on Mitsubishi Lancer, Mirage, and Nissan Sentra\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAddresses brake noise and vibration caused by uneven rotor surfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHelps restore braking performance diminished by rotor thickness below discard limits\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrevents rust-related rotor degradation with a protective coating\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImproves heat management to reduce brake fade during extended use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Notes and Tips\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eEnsure the rotor thickness is measured before installation to confirm it meets or exceeds the nominal thickness of 0.945 inches (24.0 mm). Clean the mounting surface and hub to prevent misalignment. Use the correct torque specifications for the 4 mounting bolts to avoid rotor warping. It is recommended to replace brake pads simultaneously to maintain optimal braking performance. Verify compatibility with Mitsubishi Lancer, Mirage, or Nissan Sentra models before installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuality Assurance and Warranty\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eRaybestos disc brake rotors, including the Element3; Coated Rotor 96973FZN, are manufactured to meet or exceed OEM standards for fit, form, and function. The protective coating enhances corrosion resistance, contributing to longer service life.
