Overview
The Baer Brakes 31483-020 is a rear Claw performance rotor set for the 2007–2021 Toyota Tundra, 2008–2022 Toyota Sequoia, 2008–2021 Toyota Land Cruiser and 2008–2021 Lexus LX570. It is a pair of one-piece, full cast iron drum-in-hat rotors with a floating design and a cross-drilled and slotted friction surface. The slots help gases and dust clear from between pad and rotor, which supports a more consistent pedal feel.
The set suits owners replacing rear rotors on the listed models. The rotors carry a zinc-plated finish and a rust resistant coating, and Baer backs them with a limited 1 year warranty.
Key features
- Drum-in-hat design with floating mounting
- Slotted and drilled friction surface vents gases and dust from between pad and rotor
- Chamfered cross-drilled holes designed to minimize stress cracking
- Enhanced vane structure with premium materials for cooling and durability
- Premium, mill balanced, direct replacement rotor
- Straight vent design in a vented rotor
- Zinc-plated finish with rust resistant coating
Choosing and fitting rear rotors
Rear rotors on full-size trucks and SUVs work hard under load, especially when towing or descending long grades. A drum-in-hat rotor with a floating hub mount lets the friction ring move slightly relative to the hat, which helps it stay flat under heat. Slots and drilled holes give gases and debris a path out from the pad face, so the surface stays cleaner between stops.
Before buying, match the hub bolt pattern, center bore and ABS tone ring situation to your vehicle. Rotors are usually replaced in pairs so braking stays even from side to side, and pads are often changed at the same time so the new friction surface beds in cleanly. Inspect the old rotors for scoring, heat cracks and thickness near the discard mark. A pulsing pedal or grinding noise usually points to a worn surface.
- Replace pads together with rotors
- Clean the hub face and bolt seats before mounting
- Tighten lug nuts in a star pattern after fitting
