Raybestos Element3; Coated Rotor Product Line Details

The Element3; Coated Rotor line from Raybestos features rotors with a protective coating designed to resist corrosion and extend rotor life. This coating helps maintain a clean surface and reduces the risk of rust buildup, which is particularly beneficial for vehicles exposed to harsh weather conditions. The 980642FZN rotor maintains the structural integrity and performance standards expected from Raybestos while providing enhanced durability through its coating.

Technical Specifications and Features

This vented rotor measures 315.8 mm in outside diameter and 28.0 mm in nominal thickness, ensuring compatibility with the braking systems of specified Land Rover and Volvo models. The rotor’s 5 mounting bolt holes and 5 stud/lug holes align precisely with the vehicle hubs for secure installation. The smooth surface type supports consistent pad contact and braking efficiency. The overall height of 52.0 mm and inside diameter of 184.0 mm contribute to proper fitment and heat dissipation during braking.

Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or warped rotors on Land Rover LR2 and Volvo S60 series
• Addresses brake pulsation caused by uneven rotor surfaces
• Helps reduce brake noise and vibration
• Prevents rust and corrosion-related rotor degradation
• Restores braking performance for vehicles with diminished rotor thickness

Installation Notes and Tips

• Verify rotor thickness before installation; discard if below 26.0 mm
• Ensure mounting surfaces are clean and free of debris
• Torque mounting bolts to manufacturer specifications
• Inspect brake pads for wear and replace if necessary
• Perform a test drive to confirm proper braking function after installation
