Overview
The Baer Brakes 05595-020 is a front Claw performance rotor set for 1992-2002 Chevrolet and GMC full-size pickups, SUVs and vans, including the C1500, Tahoe, Yukon, Express 1500 and Savana 1500 models. Each rotor is one-piece full cast cast iron with a slotted and drilled friction surface and a zinc plated finish.
The design is premium, mill balanced and direct replacement. The slotted and drilled face speeds the escape of gas and dust from between the pad and rotor, which supports steadier braking and less fade. The fitment below shows the years and models covered.
Key features
- Slotted and drilled friction surface for gas and dust escape.
- Enhanced vane structure for cooling and durability.
- Mill balanced, premium direct replacement rotor.
- Chamfered cross-drilled holes to reduce stress cracking.
- Zinc plated finish suited to open center wheels.
- ABS tone ring included with the set.
Wear signs and inspection
Front rotors on full-size trucks and SUVs carry heavy loads, so wear usually shows as a pulsing pedal, a shudder under braking or a grooved face. Light surface marks are normal, but deep grooves, heat cracks or uneven thickness across the face mean the rotor should be replaced. Inspect rotors each time the pads are changed.
Rotors and pads are best replaced as a matched pair. Check the wheel bearings, tie rod ends and caliper slide pins while the wheels are off, because loose parts can make a new rotor wear unevenly. Keep the lug nuts tightened to the specified torque after the first few drives.
- Replace pads with rotors when pad wear is uneven
- Torque lug nuts in a star pattern after installation
