Raybestos Element 3 Product Line Overview

The Raybestos Element 3 line focuses on delivering reliable, OEM-quality brake components designed to meet or exceed factory specifications. This product line emphasizes consistent performance and durability, making it suitable for daily driving conditions and moderate use. The 982856FZN rotor is part of this line, offering a full cast, vented rotor construction that balances heat management and structural integrity.

Detailed Product Description

This disc brake rotor is constructed from full cast iron, providing a robust and wear-resistant braking surface. The vented design enhances airflow between the rotor faces, reducing heat buildup during braking and helping to prevent warping. With a nominal thickness of 1.181 inches and a discard thickness of 1.079 inches, this rotor maintains safe operating limits for extended use. The rotor features a 5-bolt mounting pattern with a 4.5 inch (114.3 mm) bolt circle diameter, compatible with specific INFINITI, Mitsubishi, and Nissan models including the ARIYA, Outlander, Outlander PHEV, Pathfinder, and QX60.

Common Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or warped rotors causing brake pulsation
• Addressing reduced braking efficiency due to rotor surface wear
• Eliminating noise or vibration from uneven rotor thickness
• Upgrading to vented rotors for improved heat dissipation
• Ensuring compatibility with factory ABS systems (without tone ring)

Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure the rotor surface is clean and free of rust or debris before installation. Verify the rotor thickness is within discard limits to maintain braking safety. This rotor is non-directional, allowing installation on either side of the vehicle. Confirm the mounting bolt pattern and hole dimensions match the vehicle specifications. No bearings or ABS tone ring are included, so reuse existing components if applicable.

Quality Assurance and Warranty

Raybestos Element 3 rotors are manufactured to meet industry standards for material quality and dimensional accuracy. The cast iron construction and vented design contribute to consistent braking performance. While specific warranty details are not provided, Raybestos products typically adhere to OEM quality requirements and are subject to standard manufacturer warranties.
