This product line is tailored for drivers seeking dependable braking components that maintain consistent performance under typical street conditions. The 980517 rotor exemplifies this approach by combining vented rotor design and precise dimensional standards to support the braking systems of Audi A8 Quattro and Volkswagen Phaeton models.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Details and Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis disc brake rotor features a vented design to facilitate heat dissipation during braking, reducing the risk of brake fade. The rotor’s overall height measures 1.659 inches (42.150 mm), while the outside diameter is 12.198 inches (309.850 mm), ensuring compatibility with the specified vehicle models. It includes five mounting bolt holes arranged on a 112 mm (4.409 inch) bolt circle diameter, matching the factory specifications for secure installation. The nominal thickness of 0.863 inches (21.900 mm) provides a solid braking surface, with a discard thickness of 0.787 inches (20.000 mm) indicating the minimum safe thickness before replacement is necessary. This rotor is a conventional type with a drum-in-hat configuration, designed to fit the original equipment setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eApplications and Problem Solving\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReplacement for worn or warped rotors on Audi A8 Quattro and Volkswagen Phaeton\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImproves braking consistency by maintaining proper rotor thickness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHelps reduce brake fade through vented rotor design\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRestores proper rotor dimensions to prevent brake noise and vibration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports safe braking performance under normal street driving conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Notes and Tips\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eEnsure the rotor surface is clean and free of debris before installation. Verify that the mounting bolt holes align correctly with the vehicle’s hub assembly. It is recommended to replace brake pads simultaneously to optimize braking performance. Check rotor thickness with a micrometer to confirm it meets or exceeds the discard thickness of 0.787 inches (20.000 mm). Proper torque specifications should be followed when securing the rotor to avoid warping.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuality Assurance and Warranty\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eRaybestos rotors undergo rigorous quality control to meet OEM standards for fit and function.
