Overview
The Baer Brakes 31482-020 is a front Claw performance rotor set for the 2007–2021 Toyota Tundra, the 2008–2022 Toyota Sequoia, the 2016–2021 Toyota Land Cruiser and the 2016–2021 Lexus LX570. Each one-piece, full-cast vented rotor is cross-drilled and slotted, uses a floating design, and has a zinc-plated finish with a rust resistant coating.
The slots and cross-drilled holes help gases and dust escape from between the pad and rotor during braking. This is intended to support a steadier pedal feel and less brake fade. The rotor uses a conventional rotor type with a straight vent design. The floating design and rust resistant zinc-plated finish are part of the set. The set includes a limited 1 year warranty. Land Cruiser and LX570 coverage is limited to specific trims and engines, so confirm your trim before ordering.
Key features
- Floating rotor design with conventional rotor type
- Straight vent design on a vented, one-piece full-cast rotor
- Slotted and cross-drilled friction surface
- Zinc-plated finish with rust resistant coating
- Premium, mill-balanced direct replacement design
- Chamfered cross-drilled holes to help reduce stress cracking
Floating rotors and wear
A floating rotor is held by the hub with its friction ring free to move slightly, which lets it center under heat expansion. That movement depends on clean hub bolts and sound hardware, so the mounting face and bolt holes should be cleaned and checked before the new rotor is fitted. Corrosion in these areas is a common cause of rotors that feel uneven after installation.
Rust resistant coatings slow surface corrosion, but they do not stop rust forming on exposed hub faces. Wipe the rotor faces clean, keep the caliper slide pins greased, and check the pads at the same time as the rotors so the friction pair wears evenly.
- Clean the hub face and bolt holes before mounting
- Check caliper slide pins for free movement
- Inspect the wheel bearing for play while the hub is open
- Replace pads with the rotors to keep the friction pair matched
