Front and Rear Brake Rotors

Front rotors typically handle more braking force than rear rotors on the 2011 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid, so they often show wear sooner. Front rotors absorb greater heat and load during heavy braking which can cause faster wear, scoring, or warping. Rear rotors, aided by regenerative braking on hybrids, may last longer but still require inspection for uneven wear or hardware failure. At Herb Chambers Lincoln of Norwood we explain the difference clearly and provide options: resurfacing when safe and cost-effective, or full OEM replacement when necessary.
