Overview
The Baer Brakes Claw 73023-220 is a pair of rear slot-only, zinc-plated replacement brake rotors for 2019-2025 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500 trucks. It also fits the 2021-2024 Chevrolet Tahoe, Chevrolet Suburban, GMC Yukon, GMC Yukon XL, Cadillac Escalade and Cadillac Escalade ESV.
Slots give gases and dust a path out from between pad and rotor during braking, which supports consistent pedal feel and reduced brake fade. The zinc plating gives a bright finish behind open-center wheels and helps resist rust and corrosion. The rotor has an enhanced vane structure intended to aid cooling and durability.
Key features
- Slotted friction surface with zinc-plated finish
- Enhanced vane structure for cooling and durability.
- Premium, mill balanced direct replacement rotor
- One-piece full cast cast iron with rust resistant coating
- Vented, directional brake surface
Vane design and cooling
Vented rotors use internal vanes to move air through the disc, which helps carry heat away during repeated stops. Vane shape affects how efficiently that airflow works, and an enhanced vane structure is meant to help cooling under heavier loads such as towing or long grades. Heat still builds faster on larger trucks, so allow pads and rotors to cool between hard stops.
Pad choice matters on heavier trucks. A pad rated for higher temperatures can resist fade better than a soft compound, though it may be noisier when cold. Inspect vented rotors for heat checking, uneven wear and blue discoloration, which signal overheating. Replace rotors that show deep grooves or pulsation, and check the wheel bearings and caliper slides when brakes feel uneven.
- Let brakes cool after long descents
- Match pad temperature rating to your towing load
- Inspect caliper slide pins during each pad change
