Designed for smooth, consistent rear braking, the Wagner Brake BD180536E rear brake rotor is a vented, full-cast rotor built to match OE requirements for consistent performance, corrosion resistance and easy installation. It is listed for several models from Ford and Lincoln, among them the 2013-2019 Ford Explorer, 2013-2019 Ford Taurus and 2013-2019 Ford Flex (all engines). See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.
- OE-style design: Engineered to match OE requirements, with an application-specific OE vane design and thickness that help control noise, vibration and harshness (NVH).
- Corrosion resistance: Painted edges and hats provide reliable corrosion resistance.
- Precision finish and balance: The precision-ground surface is designed to shorten pad break-in, aid proper bedding and support noise reduction and heat dissipation. Precision machining limits vibration for improved stability, control and reduced pad wear.
- Quality materials: High-grade metallurgy provides structural integrity and heat dispersion for reliable performance.
Specifications: Vented, full-cast construction with a smooth surface. Outside diameter 13.583 in (345.0 mm), nominal thickness 0.748 in (19.0 mm), overall height 1.496 in. Country of origin: China.
As a disc brake rotor, it gives the rear pads a flat friction surface to clamp against, turning wheel rotation into heat to slow the vehicle. Signs a rotor may need replacing include a pulsating brake pedal, vibration when braking, deep scoring or grooves on the braking surface, or wear below the vehicle's minimum thickness. The listed applications use two. This listing is for one rotor, and replacing both rear rotors together is recommended for even, balanced braking. Wagner recommends pairing it with Wagner OEX or QS brake pads.
