About the Raybestos Element3; Coated Rotor Line

The Element3; Coated Rotor line from Raybestos focuses on providing rotors with a protective coating that helps resist corrosion and extends rotor life. This coating is especially beneficial for vehicles exposed to harsh weather conditions or road salt. The 980896FZN rotor combines this coating with a solid, drum-in-hat design to ensure reliable braking and compatibility with specific Hyundai and Kia models.

Technical Details and Compatibility

This disc brake rotor features a solid construction with a smooth surface type, optimized for consistent brake pad contact and heat dissipation. The drum-in-hat design integrates a parking brake drum within the rotor, making it suitable for vehicles equipped with rear drum parking brakes. With five mounting bolt holes arranged on a 114.3 mm bolt circle diameter, it fits securely on compatible hubs. The rotor’s dimensions, including a 262.2 mm outside diameter and 10.0 mm nominal thickness, meet OEM specifications for the Hyundai Elantra, ix35, Sportage, and Tucson models.

Common Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or warped rear disc brake rotors on Hyundai Elantra and Kia Sportage
• Restores braking performance affected by rotor thickness below discard limits
• Addresses brake noise and vibration caused by uneven rotor surfaces
• Prevents corrosion-related rotor damage with a protective coating
• Compatible with vehicles requiring drum-in-hat type rotors for integrated parking brake function

Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure the rotor thickness is above the discard thickness of 8.4 mm before installation. Clean the hub surface to remove rust or debris for proper rotor seating. Use the correct torque specifications on the five mounting bolts arranged on the 114.3 mm bolt circle. Verify compatibility with your vehicle’s parking brake system, as this rotor includes a drum-in-hat design. It is recommended to replace brake pads simultaneously to maintain optimal braking performance.

Quality Assurance and Warranty

Raybestos Element3; Coated Rotors are manufactured to meet or exceed OEM standards for fit, form, and function. The protective coating enhances corrosion resistance, contributing to longer rotor life. While specific warranty details may vary, Raybestos typically offers limited warranties covering defects in materials and workmanship. Always consult product documentation or the manufacturer for exact warranty terms.
