Duralast gold rotors not fitting

Has anybody ever bought duralast gold rotors and had them not fit their 1st gen? I bought 2 the other day and neither one fits without rubbing hard on the calipers. I've never seen that before and I've changed a lot of brakes. Comparing the old and the new they look exactly the same but the old rotors turn just fine.

 

Older tundra rotor were thicker but same size.

 

google only reveals other people with other duralast parts (pads or rotors) not fitting other vehicles

so...maybe whoever makes duralast has a crappy oem fitment department

 

According to their website all the tundra part #s are different than the Tacoma

 

make sure to "chisel" away the built up rust and brake scale before putting in the new rotors. along the side where I see it's rubbing and where the outside diameter would be

 

I have had a terrible time with duralast rotors not fitting. I won't buy them anymore.

 

Good enough for me!!!

Duralast is that not Autozone??

China quality control strikes again

 

They fucking suck....My new ones were warped.....Had to get them turned....Right outta the box

 

OP, you may have gotten the wrong part#, with a larger diameter.

Even OEM sometimes has quality control. When I did my Tundra brake conversion,
I bought 2 new OEM rotors. One was warped. No problem exchanging for a good one, though.

 

That's correct. Duralast is Autozone's house brand.

 

My opinion is that for the price you can get oem rotors for from https://www.toyotapartsdeal.com/par...;6=5F;8=XTR;10=R;0=VZN170L-CRMDKAB)&PNC=43512 there really is no reason to buy the china stuf

 

that's some good prices

 

Yup, OEM rotors are cheap enough that I don't even turn them. I just replace them when doing pads.

 

I bought brembos and have been very happy with them. Then again there isn't any auto zone near here.

 

Might be enough rust on your old calipers I most often install new rotors and rebuilt calipers .

Might be a mix of Rust on the calipers and Rotors being a bit over size but not enough to be rejected

put the pads on take it for a ride

I would bet it cleans off and quits rubbing in less then 10 miles

Wash the metal dust off and call it good

This is about 99% Satire But I have had things go where i would have done just this .
