Front and Rear Brake Rotors

Front and rear rotors serve different loads: the front rotors on a 2012 Lincoln MKT typically handle more braking force and wear faster because weight transfers forward under braking. Rear rotors often last longer but can suffer from corrosion, uneven wear, or less frequent inspection. Understanding these differences helps prioritize repairs and avoid unnecessary expense. Herb Chambers Lincoln of Norwood inspects both axles, recommending resurfacing only when safe and cost-effective and replacement when rotors fall below Lincoln’s minimum thickness. We highlight promotions and loyalty options so maintenance stays within budget; check our service specials for current offers.
