About the Element3; Coated Rotor Product Line

The Element3; Coated Rotor line by Raybestos focuses on providing rotors with a protective coating that helps resist rust and corrosion, extending the rotor's service life. This coating is particularly beneficial for vehicles exposed to moisture and road salts, maintaining braking efficiency and rotor integrity over time. The 980664FZN rotor is part of this line, combining durability with consistent performance for INFINITI and Nissan models.

Common Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or warped rotors causing brake pulsation
• Addressing rotor corrosion that reduces braking efficiency
• Restoring proper rotor thickness for safe braking performance
• Eliminating noise and vibration from uneven rotor surfaces
• Ensuring compatibility with factory mounting specifications on INFINITI and Nissan vehicles

Installation Notes and Tips

• Verify rotor thickness before installation; replace if below discard thickness of 1.180 inches
• Ensure mounting surfaces are clean and free of debris for proper fitment
• Torque mounting bolts to manufacturer specifications to avoid rotor warping
• Inspect brake pads for wear and replace if necessary to maintain optimal braking
• Follow vehicle-specific service manual instructions for rotor replacement procedures
