About the Raybestos Element3; Coated Rotor Line

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 harsh weather or road conditions, such as the Nissan Pathfinder and Suzuki Xterra. The 980370FZN part number represents a rotor that balances durability with reliable braking performance, maintaining structural integrity through vented design and precise manufacturing tolerances.

Technical Specifications and Features

This disc brake rotor features a vented design that enhances cooling by allowing air to flow between the rotor surfaces, reducing the risk of brake fade during extended use. The nominal thickness of 1.104 inches (28.05 mm) ensures sufficient material for longevity, while the discard thickness of 1.024 inches (26.0 mm) indicates when replacement is necessary to maintain safe braking. The rotor’s overall height measures 1.502 inches (38.15 mm), and it includes six mounting bolt holes arranged on a 4.5-inch (114.3 mm) bolt circle diameter, ensuring compatibility with the specified Nissan and Suzuki models.

Common Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or warped rotors on Nissan Frontier and Pathfinder
• Improves braking consistency on Suzuki Equator and Xterra
• Addresses brake noise caused by uneven rotor surfaces
• Helps reduce brake fade during heavy-duty or off-road driving
• Prevents corrosion-related rotor damage in humid or salty environments

Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure the rotor surface is clean and free of debris before installation. Verify the mounting bolt hole pattern matches your vehicle’s hub assembly. It is recommended to replace brake pads simultaneously to ensure optimal braking performance. Proper torque specifications should be followed when securing the rotor to avoid warping. After installation, perform a bed-in procedure to condition the brake pads and rotor surface.
