Raybestos R-Line Product Line Details

The Raybestos R-Line series focuses on delivering dependable brake components that meet OEM specifications. This product line emphasizes quality materials and precise manufacturing processes, ensuring that the 982409R rotor provides consistent performance and longevity for Jaguar vehicles. The R-Line rotors are designed to balance durability with effective heat management, which is critical for maintaining braking efficiency under various driving conditions.

Technical Specifications and Features

The 982409R rotor features a full cast construction that enhances structural integrity and heat dissipation. Its vented design allows air to flow between the rotor surfaces, reducing the risk of overheating during heavy braking. The rotor’s nominal thickness is 0.787 inches (20 mm), with a discard thickness of 0.709 inches (18 mm), indicating when replacement is necessary to maintain safety. The outside diameter measures 12.795 inches (325 mm), and the rotor includes five lug holes sized at 0.539 inches (13.7 mm) to match the Jaguar XE and XF wheel configurations. The center hole diameter of 2.5 inches (63.5 mm) ensures proper mounting alignment. This conventional rotor type is designed without an ABS tone ring and does not include bearings.

Common Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or warped rotors on Jaguar XE and XF models
• Addresses brake pulsation caused by uneven rotor surfaces
• Improves braking performance by restoring proper rotor thickness
• Reduces brake fade during extended or heavy braking
• Eliminates noise and vibration associated with damaged rotors

Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure the rotor thickness is measured before installation to confirm it meets the nominal specifications. Clean the rotor surface to remove any protective coatings or debris prior to mounting. Use proper torque specifications for lug nuts to avoid rotor warping. Since this rotor does not include bearings or an ABS tone ring, verify compatibility with your vehicle’s existing components. It is recommended to replace brake pads simultaneously to ensure optimal braking performance.
