Detailed Product Description

The Raybestos part number 980562 is a vented disc brake rotor specifically designed for Nissan Altima models. Its vented design helps dissipate heat more effectively than solid rotors, reducing the risk of brake fade during extended use. The rotor features a nominal thickness of 1.025 inches (26.05 mm) and a discard thickness of 0.945 inches (24.0 mm), ensuring a clear service life indicator for safe replacement. With an outside diameter of 11.646 inches (295.8 mm) and an overall height of 1.939 inches (49.25 mm), this rotor fits precisely on the Altima’s 5-lug wheel hubs with a 4.5 inch (114.3 mm) bolt circle diameter.
