Raybestos Element3; Coated Rotor Product Line Details

The Element3; Coated Rotor line by Raybestos focuses on providing rotors with a protective coating that helps prevent rust and corrosion, which is especially beneficial for vehicles exposed to harsh weather conditions. This coating maintains the rotor’s smooth surface, contributing to consistent brake pad contact and longer rotor life. The 982051FZN rotor is part of this line, combining vented rotor technology with a durable coating to meet the braking demands of Lexus RX series vehicles.

Technical Specifications and Features

This disc brake rotor is designed with a vented structure to enhance heat dissipation during braking, reducing the risk of brake fade. The smooth surface type ensures even pad wear and quiet operation. Key dimensions include a nominal thickness of 17.9 mm and a discard thickness of 16.5 mm, indicating when the rotor should be replaced to maintain safe braking performance. The rotor’s outside diameter measures 338.2 mm, with an inside diameter of 255.6 mm, and it features five mounting bolt holes with a 114.3 mm bolt circle diameter, matching the factory specifications for the listed Lexus models.

Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or warped rotors on Lexus RX350, RX350L, RX450h, RX450hL
• Addresses brake noise caused by uneven rotor surfaces
• Helps reduce brake fade from overheating during extended use
• Prevents corrosion-related rotor damage with coated surface
• Restores proper rotor thickness for safe braking performance

Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure the rotor thickness is above the discard thickness of 16.5 mm before installation. Clean the hub surface to prevent rotor runout and ensure proper mounting. Use the correct torque specifications for the 5 mounting bolts with a 114.3 mm bolt circle diameter. It is recommended to replace brake pads when installing new rotors to optimize braking efficiency and rotor life.
