Front and Rear Brake Rotors

The braking system on a 2013 Lincoln MKX relies on both front and rear rotors, but because the front axle handles a larger share of braking force, front rotors typically wear faster. Front rotors absorb the majority of stopping energy and heat, which can lead to thinner sections, glazing, or warping sooner than rear rotors. Rear rotors support stability, parking brake function, and balanced braking forces; they may last longer but still require periodic inspection. At Herb Chambers Lincoln of Norwood, MA, our certified Lincoln technicians measure rotor thickness, check for runout and heat-related distortions, and recommend resurfacing when tolerances allow or replacement when the rotor is below specification. We use OEM components that match factory specifications to preserve braking feel and safety. Take advantage of our transparent pricing, available service specials, and service financing so you can address front or rear rotor needs immediately.
