Mitsubishi Canter Rear Brake Disc

It represents the original OEM-quality rear brake rotor for Mitsubishi Canter trucks. The product meets the exact braking requirements specified by Mitsubishi's original manufacturers, with identical mounting hole positions, dimensional tolerances, and heavy-load braking parameters, allowing it to be replaced directly in place of the original components. It is an essential replacement part for overseas freight fleets and auto repair shops.

Drivers and maintenance technicians who have used the Mitsubishi Canter light truck are well aware that its primary purpose is for short-distance deliveries in urban areas, freight transport in rural regions, and regular heavy-load transportation; its operating conditions are completely different from those of household SUVs or passenger cars. The vehicle is often operated at partial or full load, with frequent starts and stops, repeated braking at intersections, and driving in slow-moving traffic, which puts significant stress on the brakes on the rear axle. Ordinary brake discs are made of softer materials with poor heat dissipation capabilities, and under prolonged heavy-load use they tend to wear out quickly, suffer from thermal degradation, cause braking instability, uneven braking force, and surface grooving – issues that directly affect the safety of the vehicle during transportation and its ability to pass vehicle inspections.

The Mitsubishi Canter rear brake discs (MK356572) are designed specifically for heavy-load freight transportation tasks, and they are perfectly suited to the demanding conditions associated with frequent braking and continuous heavy loads in Canter trucks. Their specialized ventilation and cooling structure improves airflow circulation, allowing rapid removal of the heat generated by continuous braking under heavy load. This helps to prevent a decrease in braking power and thermal deformation of the discs, ensuring stable braking performance even after long periods of intense use.

These discs are made from high-strength GG25 high-carbon alloy cast iron, which has been treated through special quenching and hardening processes. As a result, they exhibit superior resistance to wear, thermal cracking, and deformation compared to ordinary consumer-grade brake discs, making them ideal for the heavy braking demands of light trucks. The disc surfaces are precision-ground, resulting in a uniform and smooth friction surface that provides a linear and stable braking feel under heavy load, without any issues such as jerking, uneven braking, or instability. Whether it's for daily urban deliveries, short-distance freight transport in mountainous areas, or long-term intensive use, these brake discs ensure stable braking performance, durability, and resistance to wear, thereby reducing the costs associated with frequent maintenance. They fully meet the core operational needs of commercial vehicles.

What do brake rotors fear most? Rust. Especially for products exported by sea. After spending dozens of days sailing inside shipping containers, heavily rusted rotors will leave a bad impression on customers upon arrival.

Our MK356572 brake rotor features sophisticated surface treatment. The rotor body undergoes anti-rust coating treatment, forming an effective protective layer on the outer edge of the rotor and the hub mounting area.

This coating method boasts several advantages over ordinary spray painting:
First, superior adhesion. Adopting a process concept similar to E-coating, the coating evenly adheres to the rotor surface via static electricity. It bonds more firmly than conventional spray paint and resists peeling during transportation and installation.

Second, excellent salt spray corrosion resistance. Coatings that have passed salt spray testing can effectively withstand humid coastal conditions and corrosion from road de-icing salt used in winter. This is particularly vital for Canter light trucks that frequently operate in coastal regions or snow-prone winter areas.

Third, eco-friendly manufacturing process. No harmful chemical solvents are used throughout the coating procedure, and energy consumption is relatively low. European markets are imposing increasingly stringent environmental standards on imported auto parts, making this a critical advantage for export businesses.

It is important to clarify that the friction surface of the brake rotor receives no coating. This area interfaces with brake pads and must remain a bare metal friction surface. The coating only covers non-friction zones, delivering rust protection without compromising braking performance.

Having covered the superficial aspects, let's move on to the core fundamentals. The quality of a brake rotor hinges fundamentally on its casting and machining processes.

The factory we cooperate with boasts over two decades of experience in the casting industry. Casting brake rotors is far more than merely pouring molten iron into molds. Every stage-alloy composition control, pouring temperature, and cooling rate-shapes the metallographic structure and mechanical properties of the finished product.

In terms of material, the MK356572 brake rotor is made of high-carbon alloy cast iron. This material outperforms ordinary cast iron in several ways: first, its high carbon content delivers favorable graphite morphology and superior wear resistance; second, added alloying elements boost the material's heat dissipation and thermal fatigue resistance. Light-duty trucks like Canter often operate under full load, and the extreme heat generated by frequent braking poses a severe test for brake rotors. Inferior materials are prone to thermal cracking or deformation under such conditions.

When it comes to machining precision, every brake rotor undergoes rigorous dimensional inspection before leaving the factory. Tight tolerances are enforced for critical dimensions including outer diameter, thickness, flatness and parallelism. Poor flatness will trigger brake shudder after installation, while inadequate thickness tolerance leads to uneven braking force between the left and right sides.

Dynamic balance testing constitutes another critical procedure. Density cannot be perfectly uniform across all sections of the rotor body during casting, so dynamic balance testing is required to identify imbalance points for correction. Every MK356572 brake rotor undergoes full dynamic balance inspection prior to shipment to eliminate excessive vibration during high-speed rotation.

Furthermore, the entire production process features full traceability from raw material intake to finished product delivery. Complete records are retained, documenting the raw material batch, process parameters and inspection personnel for each unit. In the event of quality defects, the root cause can be quickly traced back through these records..

Our surface treatment covers premium processes including drilled & slotted, painting and Dacromet coating. We also specialize in high-carbon, modified and racing-grade brake discs, fully satisfying the diverse and high-standard demands of global customers.

Anyone engaged in foreign trade knows that logistics accounts for the largest share of costs and is also a segment prone to unexpected issues.
In terms of packaging, each MK356572 brake disc is packed with individual protective wrapping. The disc body is wrapped with pearl cotton or similar cushioning materials before being placed into custom cartons. A single disc weighs approximately 7.9 kilograms, and the neatly sized packaged unit facilitates stacking and container loading.

Q1: Are the rear brake discs with the original part number MK356572 compatible with Mitsubishi Fuso Canter models that meet Euro6 emission standards?
A1: They are fully compatible. These rear brake discs for the Mitsubishi Canter (MK356572) are suitable for all Mitsubishi Fuso Canter 3.5-ton trucks modelled from 2010 to 2024 and meeting Euro4/Euro5/Euro6 standards. Their 6-hole mounting configuration, center hole diameter, and disc thickness match those of the original rear brake calipers exactly, so no modifications or grinding are required – they can be installed directly in place.

Q2: If noise occurs in the brakes of a Mitsubishi Canter when it is used for heavy-duty tasks, is it due to a problem with the MK356572 brake discs?
A2: It is usually not a fault of the brake discs themselves. When a light truck is braked under heavy load for extended periods, the brake pads may develop a glazed surface due to high temperatures, or dust and debris from the road may get trapped between the brake pads, resulting in abnormal noises. It is recommended to clean and inspect the contact surfaces of the brake pads first. The brake discs only need to be replaced if the depth of the grooves on them exceeds 0.5 mm, if there is excessive lateral movement, or if the wear has reached the minimum limit. Slight noises during the first 500 kilometers after installing new discs are considered normal.

Q3: At what level of wear do the MK356572 rear brake discs for the Mitsubishi Canter need to be replaced promptly?
A3: According to Mitsubishi's official repair manual for light trucks, the minimum safe wear thickness for these rear brake discs is 22 mm. For safety reasons related to heavy-duty operation, we recommend replacing the discs as soon as their thickness drops to 22.5 mm. If the discs have deep grooves, large areas of rust, or cracks due to thermal deformation, they need to be replaced immediately, even if their thickness is still within the acceptable range, in order to avoid risks associated with braking under heavy load.

Q4: For Mitsubishi Canter trucks that are used for frequent operations, what is the recommended inspection interval for the MK356572 brake discs?
A4: For vehicles that are used for regular travel with light or no load, it is suggested to inspect the discs every 20,000 kilometers. For vehicles that are used for heavy-duty operations, drive in urban traffic with frequent starts and stops, or in complex road conditions, it is advisable to conduct inspections every 12,000–15,000 kilometers. During these inspections, focus on checking the wear thickness, flatness, and lateral movement of the discs, so as to identify potential braking issues early and ensure the safety of freight transportation.

Latest industry developments: In the global market for after-sales parts for light commercial trucks over the past two years, specialized braking components that offer high load capacity, wear resistance, corrosion protection, and excellent stability have become the preferred choice. In regions where the freight transport industry is well-developed, such as Europe, America, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East, there is an increasing emphasis on strict quality control standards and environmental regulations for commercial vehicle parts; as a result, ordinary brake discs made from inferior materials that are prone to heat degradation and lack corrosion protection mechanisms are being phased out. The Mitsubishi Fuso Canter, being a light-duty freight truck with a very high number of units in use worldwide, sees a growing demand for its original replacement braking parts. High-hardness, heavy-load resistant, and long-lasting corrosion-resistant brake discs that meet regulatory requirements have become the top choice for overseas auto repair chains, freight fleets, and parts wholesalers. Our Mitsubishi Canter rear brake discs (MK356572) are manufactured using lead-free, environmentally friendly casting processes and feature a low-VOC corrosion protection coating; they comply fully with Europe's REACH environmental regulations as well as commercial vehicle quality standards, allowing them to be exported to various parts of the world without any issues. Their compliance and durability far exceed those of ordinary consumer-grade alternatives.
