Overview
The Baer Brakes Claw Performance Rotors, part number 31506-020, are front replacement rotors for the Infiniti QX56, the Nissan Armada and the Nissan Titan in the model years listed below. Each rotor is cross-drilled and slotted, which Baer Brakes says helps gases and dust clear the pad-to-rotor interface during stops.
The rotors are zinc-plated, one-piece full cast cast iron, and vented, with a 350 outside diameter and a 43 overall height. Baer Brakes describes them as premium direct replacements with an enhanced vane structure for cooling, which suits owners replacing worn front rotors on these trucks and SUVs.
Key features
- Slot and drilled friction surface that allows gases and dust to escape from between the pad and rotor
- Vane structure is enhanced for cooling and built from premium materials for durability.
- Premium, mill balanced, direct replacement rotor
- Chamfered cross-drilled holes to help minimize stress cracking
- Zinc-plated finish for a bright look in open center wheels
- Vented, one-piece, full cast construction with a directional brake surface
Choosing and fitting the rotor
Front rotors on these full-size trucks and SUVs work hard under towing and hauling, so heat and wear build up faster than on lighter vehicles. Before fitting a new pair, measure the rotor thickness against its discard limit, inspect the hub face for rust, and check the wheel bearings for play. A rotor mounted to a worn hub can run out of true and cause pulsation even when the rotor itself is new.
Pad choice and bedding affect how the new set performs. Slotted and drilled rotors often produce more dust with some pad compounds, so pick a pad rated for that style. Make several moderate stops to bed the pads in, then check the lug nut torque after the first few trail runs or heavy-load drives.
