• Center hole diameter: 70.7 mm; overall height: 58.1 mm

Product Line Details

Centric GCX Elemental Protection Disc Brake Rotors are application-specific rotors developed to align coating pattern and rotor metallurgy with the brake pad friction type and OEM vehicle profile. The GCX FC full coating version adds corrosion protection across the rotor’s exposed surfaces, helping preserve the rotor’s appearance and service life in everyday driving conditions. Part number 320.61052F is part of this GCX full-coat rotor line.

Detailed Description

Centric 320.61052F is a rear disc brake rotor designed for direct replacement use on 1996-2002 Ford Crown Victoria, 1996-2002 Lincoln Town Car except limo, and 1996-2002 Mercury Grand Marquis. The rotor measures 284.9 mm in outside diameter, 13.99 mm nominal thickness, and 58.1 mm overall height, with a 70.7 mm center hole and 114.3 mm bolt circle. Its fully coated finish helps resist rust and corrosion on non-mating surfaces, while the smooth braking surface supports consistent pad contact.

This rotor is a practical choice for rear brake rotor replacement on a Ford Crown Victoria rear axle, Lincoln Town Car rear brake service, or Mercury Grand Marquis rear disc brake repair when OE-style dimensions and corrosion protection are priorities. Part number 320.61052F is built to match the vehicle’s original rotor profile and metallurgy requirements.

What It Helps Address

• Rear rotor rust and corrosion on exposed surfaces
• Brake pulsation caused by worn or out-of-spec rotors
• Reduced braking consistency from uneven rotor wear
• Replacement needs for OE-size rear brake rotors
• Appearance issues from uncoated rotor surfaces

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify rear axle fitment, rotor dimensions, and hub contact surfaces before installation. Clean the hub face thoroughly to reduce runout concerns, and inspect pads, calipers, and parking brake components during rotor replacement. Because this rotor is solid and application-specific, confirm that your vehicle matches the listed rear fitment before ordering.

Fits 1996-2002 Ford Crown Victoria, rear. Fits 1996-2002 Lincoln Town Car, rear, except limo. Fits 1996-2002 Mercury Grand Marquis, rear.

Quality Assurance

Centric designs GCX rotors to match OE performance targets while using corrosion-resistant coatings and vehicle-specific metallurgy. The brand states that its GCX rotor coverage spans more than 1,000 SKUs and covers a broad share of vehicles on the road today. Part number 320.61052F follows that application-specific approach for rear brake service.
