Built for everyday driving, the Raybestos R-Line front brake rotor, part number 66749R, is a vented cast-iron disc brake rotor developed from OE samples for OE fit, form and function. It fits many vehicles, among them the 2001-2007 Ford Taurus, 2006-2010 Chrysler Cirrus and 1996-1997 Ford Thunderbird. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list.
- OE fit, form and function: Developed from OE samples and made with G3000-qualified material for dependable braking.
- SAE standard: R-Line rotors meet the SAE standard for tensile strength, which supports structural integrity.
- Low initial lateral runout and thickness variation: Lateral runout and thickness variation are kept small. This is designed to help reduce pedal pulsation and brake noise and to help extend pad life.
- Mill balanced edges: R-Line rotors are mill balanced and 100 percent validated. This helps minimize thickness variation on the rotor and is intended to reduce vibration for smoother stopping.
Specifications: 11.58 in (294.15 mm) outside diameter, 1.025 in (26.05 mm) nominal thickness, 0.974 in (24.75 mm) discard thickness, 1.83 in (46.5 mm) overall height, and a 2.8 in (71.1 mm) center hole. It has five 0.546 in (13.85 mm) bolt holes on a 4.25 in (107.95 mm) bolt circle. It is a conventional rotor, not a drum-in-hat design, with a non-directional braking surface. An ABS tone ring is not included. Country of origin: China.
Whether you are replacing a worn 2001-2007 Ford Taurus brake rotor or servicing another listed vehicle, watch for these signs that a rotor may need replacing: pedal pulsation, grinding, scoring on the braking surface, or wear down to the discard thickness. The listed applications use two front rotors. This rotor is sold individually, and replacing both sides together is recommended for even, balanced braking.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this one of the right 2001-2007 Ford Taurus rotors for my car?
Part 66749R is listed as a front rotor for the 2001-2007 Ford Taurus with all engines, and also for the 1996-1999 Ford Taurus. Check the "Vehicles it fits" section to confirm your vehicle.
Does it also fit the 2006-2010 Chrysler Cirrus or 1996-1997 Ford Thunderbird?
Yes. It is listed for the 2006-2010 Chrysler Cirrus and the 1996-1997 Ford Thunderbird. The "Vehicles it fits" section has the full fitment chart.
What does this brake rotor do?
It is the spinning disc that the brake pads clamp against, and that friction slows the wheel. This rotor is vented, a design intended to help shed braking heat.
What are the key specifications?
It has an 11.58 in (294.15 mm) outside diameter, 1.025 in nominal thickness, 0.974 in discard thickness, 1.83 in overall height, and five bolt holes on a 4.25 in circle. It is cast iron with a non-directional surface.
Is it sold as a pair, and what's in the box?
It is sold individually: one rotor, with no ABS tone ring. The listed applications use two front rotors, so replacing both sides together is recommended for even braking.
