Motorcraft Rotors are designed, engineered and tested to provide excellent performance and long-life reliability. As with all Motorcraft parts, these rotors are engineered for a sure fit and easy installation
Features & Benefits:
High carbon casting for enhanced heat dissipation, vibration absorption and extended brake life
30,000 PSI Iron with metallurgical properties provides consistent hardness and strength for long-term durability
Rotors are 100% certified, straddle-finished and mill-balanced to help ensure a uniform surface finish for a smooth driving and stopping experience
Precise chamfered bolt hole locations and diameters help prevent distortion when tightening lug nuts during installation
Designed for optimal performance and cooler operating temperatures with careful attention paid to rotor plate thickness and mass, and number and shape of cooling vanes
Installation Tips
Always replace Brake Pads and inspect Calipers and Brake Hoses when installing new rotors
Suspend the caliper from the suspension using a Caliper Hanger to prevent damage to the brake hose
After removing the old rotor, clean the hub face with a Wire Brush to remove rust buildup and apply Copper Anti Seize to prevent future buildup. Rust or debris on the hub can cause rotor runout and lead to wheel vibration
Apply Brake Lube to caliper pins, clips, the edges of the brake pad mounting tabs, and the back side of the brake pads to ensure noise free braking. DO NOT apply lube to the friction side of the brake pads
Use a Caliper Piston Compressor to retract the caliper piston(s) and make room for the new, thicker brake pads
Open the master cylinder reservoir during piston compression to prevent pressure buildup. Keep an eye on the Brake Fluid level to ensure it does not overflow
After the job is complete, pump the brake pedal several times to push the caliper piston back up against the pads to ensure proper brake function
