REPLACEMENT BRAKE COMPONENTS Ford OE and Motorcraft Rotors verses Aftermarket Rotors When compared to aftermarket brands, Ford OE and Motorcraft rotors: Match O.E-M Critical Specifications Are 100% Certified and balanced at the plant Are made of 30,000 lb tensile strength cast gray iron just like O.E. Additionally, strict standards on the rotor plate thickness (thickness variation) reduces high tempera ture warpage, and increases durability. When servicing brakes it is always best to: Cleaning Rotors Make sure lathe bits are sharp No need to turn new rotors prior to installation Check wheel hub play to ensure it is within tolerances Ensure hubs are clean at their mating surface with the brake rotor The importance of brake rotor finish Rough finish increases stopping distance Dirt and metal left on the rotor after turning will cause increased slopping distance and increase the chance of noise complaints Bits must be rotated often Use the latest style Lo improve finish quality Never use imitation or aftermarket bits Advanced Brake Service and Brake Lathe Training Produced by Ford Motor Company MOTO 000035 November, 2003 3-7
