Detailed Product Specifications

This Raybestos disc brake rotor features a nominal thickness of 0.787 inches (20.000 mm) and a discard thickness of 0.689 inches (17.500 mm), ensuring precise wear limits for safe operation. The rotor's outside diameter measures 12.598 inches (320.000 mm), with an inside diameter of 8.457 inches (214.800 mm). It has an overall height of 1.697 inches (43.100 mm) and a center hole diameter of 2.504 inches (63.600 mm). The mounting bolt hole circle diameter is 4.252 inches (108.000 mm) with five mounting bolt holes, each 0.622 inches (15.800 mm) in diameter, matching the stud/lug hole quantity of five. The smooth surface type and vented design help maintain optimal braking performance by reducing heat buildup during operation.

About the Element3; Coated Rotor Product Line

The Element3; Coated Rotor line by Raybestos is designed to provide enhanced corrosion resistance and extended rotor life through a specialized coating process. This coating helps protect the rotor surface from rust and environmental damage, which is particularly beneficial for vehicles exposed to wet or salty conditions. The 982109FZN rotor combines this protective coating with a vented design to improve heat dissipation, making it suitable for demanding driving conditions on Volvo models such as the XC60 and V90 Cross Country.

Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or warped rotors on Volvo S60, XC90, and other compatible models
• Addresses brake noise and vibration caused by uneven rotor surfaces
• Helps restore braking efficiency lost due to rotor thickness below discard limits
• Prevents rust and corrosion-related rotor damage in humid or coastal environments
• Improves heat dissipation to reduce brake fade during extended use

Installation Notes and Tips

• Ensure rotor thickness is above discard thickness (0.689 inches) before installation
• Clean mounting surfaces and check bolt hole alignment for proper fitment
• Use recommended torque specifications for mounting bolts to avoid rotor warping
• Inspect brake pads for wear and replace if necessary to ensure optimal rotor performance
• Follow vehicle manufacturer guidelines for brake system maintenance
