Overview
The Baer Brakes 54063-020 is a pair of Claw performance front brake rotors for the 1999 Ford F-250 Super Duty and 1999 Ford F-350 Super Duty in 4WD. They are direct replacement rotors, cast in one piece from cast iron, with a vented design and a cross-drilled and slotted friction surface.
The slots and drilled holes let gases and dust escape from between the pad and rotor during braking, which supports a more consistent pedal feel and reduced 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 rotor
- Chamfered cross-drilled holes to minimize stress cracking
- Zinc-plated finish for a bright appearance in open center wheels
- Sold as a pair of rotors for the front axle
Tone ring and installation checks
The ABS tone ring is the toothed ring the wheel speed sensor reads. It sits at the hub and is separate from the brake rotor, so a rotor change does not normally affect it, but the ring should be inspected for damage, rust or missing teeth whenever the hub is opened. A damaged tone ring can trigger ABS or traction warnings even when the brakes feel normal.
Clean the hub face and mounting surface before fitting new rotors, since rust or debris can cause runout and vibration. Check that the rotor sits flat against the hub and tighten the lug nuts evenly. Bed in new pads with a series of moderate stops, and recheck the rotor after the first few drives.
- Inspect the sensor and tone ring for damage
- Clean rust from the hub before installation
- Check the rotor for runout after mounting
- Tighten lug nuts in a crisscross pattern
