• Full cast iron construction ensuring strength and heat dissipation
• Rust-resistant coating to protect against corrosion
• Directional disc finish for improved braking efficiency
• Solid rotor type with a smooth surface for consistent pad contact
• Outside diameter of 277.9 mm (10.941 inches) compatible with specific Chrysler and Mercedes-Benz models
• Height dimensions of 2.185 inches (55.4 mm) for precise fitment

Detailed Product Description

The BD125616E disc brake rotor from Wagner Brake is crafted from cast iron, providing a balance of durability and heat management essential for effective braking. Its full cast construction enhances structural integrity, reducing the risk of warping under high temperatures. The rotor features a smooth surface type and a directional disc finish, which helps maintain consistent brake pad contact and improves overall braking response. Additionally, the rust-resistant coating extends the rotor's service life by minimizing corrosion, especially in environments prone to moisture and road salt exposure.

This rotor is a solid type, meaning it does not have venting channels, which suits vehicles that do not require vented rotors for heat dissipation. The precise dimensions, including a nominal thickness of 8.9 mm and an outside diameter of 277.9 mm, ensure compatibility with various Chrysler and Mercedes-Benz models such as the Chrysler Crossfire and Mercedes-Benz C230, C240, C280, E300, E320, SLK200, SLK230, SLK280, SLK300, and SLK320.

Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or warped rotors causing brake pulsation or noise
• Addressing rotor corrosion and surface rust that affects braking performance
• Improving braking consistency on Chrysler Crossfire and Mercedes-Benz SLK series vehicles
• Restoring proper rotor thickness to meet manufacturer specifications
• Ensuring smooth rotor surface for optimal brake pad engagement

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the Wagner Brake BD125616E rotor, ensure the rotor surface is clean and free of any protective coatings or debris before mounting. Verify the rotor thickness meets or exceeds the vehicle manufacturer’s minimum specifications. Use proper torque settings on wheel lug nuts to avoid rotor warping. It is recommended to inspect brake pads and replace them if worn to maintain balanced braking performance.
