Product Details and Specifications
This Wagner Brake BD180397E rotor is a solid disc brake rotor constructed from cast iron, providing a balance of durability and thermal management. The full cast design enhances structural integrity, while the rust resistant coating helps prevent corrosion, especially in wet or humid environments. The smooth surface finish ensures consistent pad contact, reducing uneven wear and brake noise. The directional disc finish is engineered to improve braking efficiency by promoting even heat distribution and debris removal during braking.
Compatible with Ford Fusion, Lincoln MKZ, Mercury Milan, and Lincoln MKC models, this rotor is designed to meet OEM specifications for size and performance. The rotor’s dimensions, including an outside diameter of 280 mm and a nominal thickness of 11.0 mm, ensure proper fit and function within the braking system.
Common Applications and Problem Solving
- Replacement for worn or warped rotors causing brake pulsation
- Addressing rotor corrosion that leads to uneven braking
- Improving braking performance on Ford Fusion, Lincoln MKZ, Mercury Milan, and Lincoln MKC vehicles
- Eliminating brake noise caused by surface irregularities
- Restoring proper rotor thickness to maintain safe braking distances
Installation Notes and Tips
When installing the Wagner Brake BD180397E rotor, ensure the rotor surface is clean and free of any protective coatings before mounting. Verify rotor thickness and dimensions match OEM specifications for your specific vehicle model. It is recommended to replace brake pads simultaneously to ensure optimal braking performance and rotor longevity. Proper torque specifications should be followed when securing the rotor to avoid warping.
