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 reduces the risk of rust buildup, which can affect braking efficiency and rotor longevity. The 980462FZN part benefits from this coating, making it suitable for Nissan Pathfinder owners seeking reliable braking components with enhanced durability.

Technical Details and Specifications

This disc brake rotor features a vented design that allows air to flow between the rotor surfaces, improving heat dissipation during braking. The drum-in-hat type rotor integrates a parking brake drum within the rotor assembly, eliminating the need for a separate drum component. The rotor measures 12.119 inches (307.8 mm) in outside diameter and has an overall height of 2.468 inches (62.7 mm). It includes six mounting bolt holes arranged on a 4.5 inch (114.3 mm) bolt circle diameter, ensuring proper fitment on compatible Nissan Pathfinder models. The nominal thickness of 0.709 inches (18.0 mm) provides sufficient material for wear, with a discard thickness of 0.630 inches (16.0 mm) indicating when replacement is necessary.

Common Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or warped rotors on Nissan Pathfinder vehicles
• Addresses brake noise and vibration caused by uneven rotor surfaces
• Improves braking performance by restoring proper rotor thickness and surface condition
• Helps prevent rust-related rotor degradation with its protective coating
• Supports parking brake functionality with integrated drum-in-hat design

Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure the rotor surface and hub are clean and free of debris before installation. Verify the rotor thickness is above the discard thickness specification of 0.630 inches (16.0 mm) to maintain safe braking performance. Use proper torque specifications for the six mounting bolts on the 4.5 inch (114.3 mm) bolt circle diameter. The vented design requires correct orientation to optimize cooling. Consult the vehicle service manual for detailed installation procedures specific to the Nissan Pathfinder.
