Product Details and Specifications

This Raybestos disc brake rotor, part number 980030FZN, is designed specifically for Suzuki Esteem vehicles requiring a vented rotor with conventional mounting. The vented design helps dissipate heat more efficiently during braking, reducing the risk of brake fade under normal driving conditions. The rotor measures 9.685 inches in outside diameter and has an overall height of 1.969 inches, ensuring proper fitment and clearance. It features four mounting bolt holes arranged on a 3.937-inch bolt circle diameter, with a center hole diameter of 2.362 inches, matching the hub specifications of the Suzuki Esteem. The nominal thickness of 0.787 inches provides a solid braking surface, while the discard thickness of 0.709 inches indicates when the rotor should be replaced to maintain safety and performance.

About the Element3; Coated Rotor Product Line

The Element3; Coated Rotor line by Raybestos focuses on providing rotors with a protective coating that helps resist corrosion and extends rotor life. This coating reduces surface rust and maintains a cleaner appearance over time, which is particularly beneficial for vehicles like the Suzuki Esteem that may be exposed to varying weather conditions. The 980030FZN rotor benefits from this coating, contributing to longer service intervals and consistent braking performance.

Common Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or warped rotors on Suzuki Esteem
• Addresses brake noise caused by uneven rotor surfaces
• Improves heat dissipation to reduce brake fade
• Restores proper rotor thickness for safe braking
• Prevents rust buildup with protective coating

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the Raybestos 980030FZN rotor on a Suzuki Esteem, ensure the mounting surface is clean and free of debris to promote proper rotor seating. Verify that the rotor thickness is above the discard thickness of 0.709 inches before installation. Use the correct torque specifications for the four mounting bolts to avoid rotor warping. It is recommended to replace brake pads simultaneously to ensure optimal braking performance and rotor longevity.

Quality Assurance and Warranty

Raybestos disc brake rotors undergo rigorous quality control to meet industry standards for safety and durability. The Element3; Coated Rotor line includes a protective coating to enhance corrosion resistance. While specific warranty details for part number 980030FZN should be confirmed with the manufacturer, Raybestos typically offers limited warranties covering defects in materials and workmanship.
