Detailed Product Description

This Raybestos disc brake rotor, part number 980735, is part of the Specialty - Truck product line, which focuses on components designed specifically for truck applications requiring enhanced durability and performance. The vented rotor design helps dissipate heat more effectively than solid rotors, reducing the risk of brake fade during heavy-duty use. With a nominal thickness of 1.107 inches and a discard thickness of 1.024 inches, this rotor maintains structural integrity while providing a clear service limit for replacement. The rotor’s 12.917-inch outside diameter and 7.827-inch inside diameter ensure proper fitment and compatibility with the Kia Borrego’s braking system. The six mounting bolt holes with a 4.500-inch diameter and a center hole diameter of 1.716 inches provide secure installation and alignment.

Common Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or warped rotors on Kia Borrego trucks
• Addresses brake noise caused by uneven rotor surfaces
