Raybestos R-300 Rear Brake Rotor 1pc 🚗
Description:
This rear disc brake rotor is built for street performance on select Ford and Mercury SUVs, offering improved pedal feel and quieter braking for everyday driving and spirited road use. It aims to reduce vibration and manage heat under repeated stops, making it a solid replacement when restoring braking consistency and responsiveness according to the manufacturer.
Key Points
The rotor is designed to match original equipment cooling vane patterns, which helps control operating temperature and reduce brake fade during repeated braking. It includes machining and balance validation to minimize vibration and restore a smooth pedal sensation. Expect rust prevention measures and surface finish intended to extend pad life and reduce noise, according to the manufacturer. ⚙️
Fitment covers rear axle applications for Ford Explorer model years 2002 through 2010, Explorer Sport Trac 2007 through 2010, and Mercury Mountaineer 2002 through 2010. Installation follows standard rear rotor replacement procedures and will require basic mechanical tools and safe lifting equipment.
Technical Specifications
- Name: Raybestos R-300 Specialty Rear Disc Rotor (680026PER)
- Application: Rear disc brake rotor
- Vehicle fit: Ford Explorer 2002-2010, Explorer Sport Trac 2007-2010, Mercury Mountaineer 2002-2010

Usage Recommendations
Allow the rotor to bed in with new pads using progressive stops and moderate braking for the first 100 miles to ensure even pad transfer and stable performance. Consider that while the cooling vane design reduces fade for typical street use, this rotor may not be optimized for sustained track or heavy towing applications where more aggressive cooling and venting are required. When matching replacement parts, pair with compatible rear pads and hardware to maintain expected feel and noise characteristics. 🔧🚗
