Product Line Details: Element3; Coated Rotor

The Element3; Coated Rotor line by Raybestos focuses on corrosion resistance and consistent braking performance. The coating helps protect the rotor surface from rust and environmental damage, extending service life. This rotor’s vented design improves heat dissipation, which is critical for maintaining braking efficiency under demanding conditions. The drum-in-hat configuration integrates the parking brake drum within the rotor, providing a compact and efficient braking solution for compatible Nissan and INFINITI models.

Technical Specifications and Fitment

This disc brake rotor is specifically designed for compatibility with Nissan Armada, Pathfinder Armada, QX56, and TITAN vehicles. The rotor features a 6-bolt mounting pattern with a 5.5-inch bolt circle diameter, ensuring secure installation. Its vented construction aids in heat management, reducing the risk of brake fade during extended use. The nominal thickness of 0.550 inches and discard thickness of 0.472 inches provide clear service limits for maintenance and replacement.

Common Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or warped rotors causing brake pulsation
• Addressing rotor corrosion and surface rust issues
• Improving heat dissipation to reduce brake fade
• Restoring proper parking brake function with drum-in-hat design
• Ensuring precise fitment for Nissan Armada, Pathfinder Armada, QX56, and TITAN models

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the Raybestos 980198FZN rotor, ensure the mounting surface is clean and free of debris to prevent uneven rotor seating. Torque the 6 mounting bolts to manufacturer specifications to maintain proper rotor alignment. It is recommended to replace brake pads simultaneously to optimize braking performance. Verify rotor thickness before installation to confirm it meets or exceeds the nominal thickness of 0.550 inches and is above the discard thickness of 0.472 inches.
