Element3; Coated Rotor Product Line Details

The Element3; Coated Rotor line by Raybestos features rotors with a protective coating designed to resist corrosion and extend rotor life. This coating helps maintain rotor integrity under various driving conditions, making it suitable for Land Rover vehicles that require dependable braking components. The 982438FZN rotor combines this coating with vented design to optimize heat dissipation and braking efficiency.

Technical Specifications and Features

This disc brake rotor is a conventional, vented type designed to fit Land Rover models with a 5-bolt mounting pattern. The rotor’s nominal thickness of 1.339 inches (34.000 mm) ensures structural strength, while the discard thickness of 1.260 inches (32.000 mm) indicates the minimum safe thickness for replacement. The smooth surface type promotes even pad contact and reduces noise. With an outside diameter of 13.740 inches (349.000 mm) and an inside diameter of 7.953 inches (202.000 mm), this rotor matches factory specifications for proper fit and function.

Common Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or warped rotors on Land Rover Discovery, Range Rover, and Range Rover Sport
• Addresses brake pulsation caused by uneven rotor thickness
• Resolves noise issues related to rotor surface imperfections
• Improves heat dissipation to reduce brake fade during extended use
• Prevents corrosion-related rotor damage with protective coating

Installation Notes and Tips

• Ensure rotor thickness is above discard thickness (1.260 inches) before installation
• Clean mounting surface and hub to prevent rotor runout
• Torque mounting bolts to manufacturer specifications for secure fitment
• Inspect brake pads for wear and replace if necessary to ensure optimal braking
• Perform a bed-in procedure after installation to maximize rotor and pad performance
