Overview
The Baer Brakes 53062-020 is a front Claw performance rotor set for the 2011-2020 Dodge Durango and the 2011-2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The set fits vehicles with 330mm front rotors and solid rear rotors, and is sold as a pair of direct replacement front rotors with five lug holes.
The rotors have a slotted and cross-drilled friction surface and a zinc-plated finish. The design helps gases and dust escape from the pad face and is intended to support a more consistent pedal feel. The cast iron vented design has a discard thickness of 30.5 and an overall height of 55.
Key features
- Slotted and cross-drilled face that helps vent gases and dust from the pad area
- Enhanced vane structure, which Baer describes as improving cooling and durability
- Premium, mill-balanced direct replacement design
- Chamfered cross-drilled holes intended to reduce stress cracking
- Zinc-plated finish with a bright look behind open center wheels
- One-piece full cast vented construction with 5 lug holes
Matching the front and rear setup
The fitment for this rotor depends on pairing it with solid rear rotors, so the rear setup is part of the job. When front rotors change, check the rear brakes too, since the balance between front and rear braking affects stopping and pad wear. Inspect rear pads, calipers and hardware at the same time.
The five lug layout is common on these trucks and SUVs, but the hub face should still be checked for rust and flatness before the rotor is installed. Torque the lug nuts in a star pattern and recheck them after the first few drives. A brake shop can confirm the front and rear setup if there is any doubt about the vehicle.
Slotted and cross-drilled rotors can wear pads faster on some vehicles, so pad selection matters. Choose pads that suit the vehicle’s typical driving. Bed in the new pads and rotors with a series of moderate stops before any hard braking.

Vehicle fitment
The manufacturer fitment list includes the 2011-2020 Dodge Durango in front position, plus two Jeep Grand Cherokee entries: 2018-2020 and 2011-2017 (WK). Each entry carries the note for 330mm front rotors and solid rear rotors.
Earlier Grand Cherokee generations, including WJ and ZJ, are not covered by this list, and vehicles with other front or rear rotor setups fall outside the stated fitment. Confirm your vehicle’s year, model and trim before ordering.
Installation notes
The ABS tone ring is not included, so the existing tone ring must be carried over. Because the rotor is matched to a specific front and rear rotor layout, confirm the vehicle’s setup before installation. A qualified technician should check the brakes after the rotors are fitted.
What’s included
A pair of front rotors, sold as a set.
