Overview
The Baer Brakes 53064-020 is a set of two Claw performance front rotors for the 2011–2023 Dodge Durango and the 2011–2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee, sized for vehicles that run 350mm front rotors. Each rotor is a direct replacement for the factory front rotor, which Baer Brakes describes as premium and mill balanced.
Brake rotors are the discs the pads clamp against. This cross-drilled and slotted version moves gas and dust away from the pad face during hard braking, which supports a more consistent pedal feel and less brake fade. The zinc-plated finish suits trucks with open center wheels.
Key features
- Slotted and drilled friction surface lets gases and dust escape from between the pad and rotor
- Enhanced vane structure and premium materials for cooling and durability
- Premium, mill balanced, direct replacement design
- 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
Before you buy
Cross-drilled and slotted rotors suit drivers who brake hard often, such as on steep grades or when towing. The slots and holes help clear pad material and moisture, but they also add surface area where cracks can start, so inspect the rotor face at each pad change. A rotor with a visible crack, deep groove or heat checking should be replaced rather than resurfaced.
Rotors wear in pairs and perform best when both sides match. Replace the pads at the same time, and choose a pad compound that suits your driving, since a very aggressive pad can wear a drilled rotor faster. Bed in the new pads and rotors with a series of moderate stops before any hard braking.
- Check rotor thickness against the discard value before reinstalling
- Look for pulsation or pedal vibration after stops
- Clean the hub face and remove rust before mounting
- Replace pads and rotors together when possible
- Confirm the directional orientation before tightening

Vehicle fitment
The manufacturer fitment list covers the 2011–2023 Dodge Durango for front use with 350mm front rotors and vented rear rotors, and the 2018–2023 and 2011–2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee (WK) for front use under the same configuration.
It fits 2011–2023 Dodge Durango front axles with 350mm front rotors and vented rear rotors, and 2011–2017 and 2018–2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee (WK) front axles under the same configuration. The SRT8 and some 2022–2023 Durango and Grand Cherokee applications are not covered. Confirm your vehicle’s year, model and trim before ordering.
Installation notes
The brake surface is directional, so confirm the rotor’s orientation before mounting it. Brake work is safer with the vehicle properly supported and the wheels removed.
