Front and Rear Brake Rotors

Understanding the difference between front and rear rotors helps owners of the 2017 Lincoln MKX prioritize maintenance. The front rotors generally handle a greater share of braking force and heat, so they typically show wear sooner than rear rotors — especially in stop-and-go city driving or towing scenarios. Rear rotors can wear unevenly if parking brake adjustments are needed or if caliper slide pins are sticking. At Herb Chambers Lincoln of Norwood our technicians evaluate both axles, measuring rotor thickness, lateral runout and surface condition to determine whether resurfacing or replacement is safest and most cost-effective. We clearly explain how delayed service can lead to caliper damage, ABS sensor issues and higher long-term costs, and we offer OEM replacements with warranty backing and flexible financing.
