Raybestos Element 3 Product Line Details

The Raybestos Element 3 line focuses on delivering rotors that meet or exceed OEM specifications for fit, form, and function. This product line emphasizes full cast construction and vented designs to provide balanced heat management and durability. The 982506FZN rotor is part of this line, ensuring it aligns with the quality and performance standards expected for Tesla Model S brake components.

Technical Description and Specifications

This disc brake rotor features a full cast iron construction, which offers excellent thermal conductivity and resistance to warping. The vented design allows air to flow between the rotor surfaces, helping to dissipate heat generated during braking. With a nominal thickness of 1.106 inches (28.1 mm) and a discard thickness of 1.023 inches (26 mm), this rotor provides a clear service life indicator to maintain safe braking performance. The rotor’s overall height is 2.614 inches (66.4 mm), and it has an outside diameter of 14.37 inches (365 mm), matching the specifications required for Tesla Model S vehicles. The mounting bolt pattern includes 5 holes with a bolt circle diameter of 4.72 inches (119.9 mm), ensuring proper fitment and secure installation.

Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or warped rotors on Tesla Model S
• Addresses brake pulsation caused by uneven rotor surfaces
• Improves heat dissipation to reduce brake fade during extended use
• Restores braking performance affected by rotor thickness below discard limits
• Compatible upgrade for maintaining OEM braking standards on Tesla Model S

Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure the rotor surface is clean and free of debris before installation. Verify the rotor thickness is above the discard thickness of 1.023 inches (26 mm) to maintain safe braking. Use the correct torque specifications for the 5 mounting bolts to avoid rotor distortion. This rotor does not include ABS tone rings or bearings, so retain existing components if applicable. Proper bedding of brake pads after installation is recommended to optimize rotor and pad performance.

Quality Assurance and Warranty

Raybestos Element 3 rotors are manufactured to meet strict quality standards, ensuring consistent performance and durability. The 982506FZN rotor is made from high-grade cast iron and undergoes rigorous testing to comply with OEM specifications. Warranty coverage details should be confirmed with the product provider or manufacturer.
