About the Raybestos Element3; Coated Rotor Product Line

The Element3; Coated Rotor line from Raybestos focuses on delivering 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 Volvo C70, S40, and V50. The 980552FZN rotor combines this coating with a vented design to maintain optimal braking performance and rotor integrity over time.

Technical Specifications and Features

This disc brake rotor features a vented design that enhances heat dissipation during braking, reducing the risk of brake fade. The nominal thickness of 0.984 inches (25.000 mm) ensures a solid braking surface, while the discard thickness of 0.906 inches (23.000 mm) indicates when the rotor should be replaced to maintain safety. The rotor’s overall height of 1.908 inches (48.450 mm) and outside diameter of 12.598 inches (320.000 mm) are engineered for precise fitment on compatible Volvo models. With five mounting bolt holes and stud/lug holes, installation aligns securely with the vehicle’s hub assembly. The center hole diameter of 2.504 inches (63.600 mm) ensures proper centering on the axle hub.

Common Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or warped rotors on Volvo C70, S40, and V50
• Addresses brake noise caused by uneven rotor surfaces
• Improves braking performance by restoring proper rotor thickness
• Helps reduce brake fade during extended or heavy braking
• Prevents corrosion-related rotor damage with coated surface

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the Raybestos 980552FZN rotor, ensure the rotor surface and hub are clean and free of debris to prevent uneven wear. Verify the rotor thickness before installation to confirm it meets the nominal specifications. Use proper torque settings on the five mounting bolts to secure the rotor firmly. It is recommended to replace brake pads simultaneously to optimize braking performance and rotor longevity.

Quality Assurance and Warranty

Raybestos disc brake rotors, including the Element3; Coated Rotor 980552FZN, are manufactured to meet or exceed OEM standards for fit, form, and function. The protective coating helps extend rotor life by resisting rust and corrosion. While specific warranty details may vary, Raybestos typically offers coverage against defects in materials and workmanship, providing confidence in the product’s durability and reliability.
