Brake Rotor Overview

The Wagner Brake DSX180536E is a vented disc brake rotor built for demanding braking conditions. It combines cast iron construction, a full cast design, and a rust-resistant coating to support consistent stopping performance and durability.

Compatible with rear brake applications on select Ford and Lincoln vehicles, including the Ford Explorer, Ford Flex, Ford Police Interceptor Sedan, Ford Police Interceptor Utility, Ford Taurus, Lincoln MKT, Ford Special Service Police Sedan, and Lincoln MKS. The DSX180536E is engineered for vehicles that see frequent stops and heavier service demands.

Key Features

• Cast iron, full cast construction for strength and stability.
• Vented rotor design for improved heat management.
• Rust-resistant coating helps protect the rotor surface.
• Smooth, directional braking surface for consistent contact.
• 5-lug configuration for the listed applications.

Detailed Description

Wagner Brake DSX180536E is a disc brake rotor designed with superior metallurgy and heat control in mind. Its vented, full cast construction and 13.583-inch outside diameter help support braking performance in rear applications where repeated stops and load-carrying duty can increase thermal stress. This rotor is a fitment-based replacement for 2013-2019 Ford Explorer rear, 2013-2019 Ford Flex rear, 2013-2019 Ford Police Interceptor Sedan rear, 2013-2019 Ford Police Interceptor Utility rear, 2013-2019 Ford Taurus rear, 2013-2019 Lincoln MKT rear, 2014-2018 Ford Special Service Police Sedan rear, and 2013-2016 Lincoln MKS rear. The DSX180536E part number is also referenced by multiple aftermarket cross numbers for the same application.

This part cross-references Bosch 20011623 for the same application.

What It Is Used For

• Replacing a worn rear brake rotor with the correct fitment.
• Addressing brake pulsation caused by rotor wear or surface variation.
• Restoring braking consistency after heat-related rotor damage.
• Supporting service use where frequent stops increase brake temperatures.

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify rotor diameter, lug count, and rear fitment before installation. Check the hub and brake components for wear, corrosion, or runout that could affect rotor performance. The directional braking surface must be installed according to the application requirements for proper operation.

Quality Assurance

Wagner Brake designs SD rotors for high-strength durability and extreme heat management in demanding service environments.
