Bosch 20011511 front brake rotor for the 2011-2019 Ford Explorer and other vehicles is the vented disc the pads clamp to slow the wheel. This Bosch brake rotor is made using 3D laser measuring and repeated inspection.
A pulsing brake pedal, shake through the steering wheel when braking, or deep grooves and cracks on the rotor face can mean the rotor is worn, though pads or a caliper can produce similar signs. During a brake service, measure the rotor with the engine off and compare it with the discard specification on its edge.
The 2011-2019 Ford Explorer, the 2011-2019 Ford Taurus and the 2012-2019 Ford Flex take this front rotor, and so do many other vehicles. If your car is not named here, look it up on the Buyer's Guide tab before you order. A front axle takes two rotors, and this listing is one, so order two and fit them together.
