Raybestos Element3; Coated Rotor Product Line Details

The Element3; Coated Rotor line from Raybestos focuses on providing rotors with a protective coating that helps resist corrosion and extends rotor life. This coating is particularly beneficial for vehicles exposed to moisture and road salts, such as the Mercedes-Benz CLS and E-Class models. The 980270FZN rotor maintains structural integrity while offering smooth braking performance and reduced maintenance needs.

Technical Specifications and Compatibility

This disc brake rotor is vented to improve heat dissipation during braking, reducing the risk of brake fade. The smooth surface type ensures consistent pad contact and wear. With a nominal thickness of 0.866 inches and a discard thickness of 0.764 inches, it meets OEM standards for safe replacement. The rotor’s five mounting bolt holes and 4.409 inch bolt circle diameter provide secure installation on compatible Mercedes-Benz vehicles including CLS400, CLS500, E320, E350, E400, E500, GLK250, GLK280, and GLK350.

Common Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or warped rotors causing brake pulsation
• Addressing rotor corrosion and surface rust on Mercedes-Benz brake systems
• Improving braking performance on CLS and GLK models with OEM specifications
• Resolving noise issues related to uneven rotor surfaces
• Maintaining proper rotor thickness to ensure safe braking distances

Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure the rotor is installed on vehicles compatible with the 980270FZN part number and verify bolt hole alignment with the 5-lug pattern and 4.409 inch bolt circle diameter. Clean the hub surface before installation to prevent runout. Use proper torque specifications for mounting bolts to avoid rotor warping. It is recommended to replace brake pads simultaneously to optimize braking performance.

Quality Assurance and Warranty

Raybestos rotors, including the Element3; Coated Rotor 980270FZN, are manufactured to meet or exceed OEM standards. The protective coating helps extend rotor life by reducing corrosion. While specific warranty details should be confirmed with the retailer or manufacturer, Raybestos typically offers coverage against defects in materials and workmanship.
