• Resurfacing can save money short-term but only when the rotor retains adequate thickness; at Herb Chambers Lincoln of Norwood we provide honest, documentation-backed guidance so you save both now and long-term.
• Warranty considerations and optimal braking performance often favor OEM replacement; ask about our service specials and available financing when you schedule appointment.

Front and Rear Brake Rotors

The front and rear rotors on a 2018 Lincoln MKX perform different duties: front rotors handle most of the stopping force and heat, while rear rotors provide balance, stability, and parking brake function. Because the front axle does more of the heavy braking, front rotors typically wear faster and are more susceptible to heat-related issues such as warping and glazing. Rear rotors often last longer but can show uneven wear if calipers or hardware begin to stick. At Herb Chambers Lincoln of Norwood, our technicians measure rotor thickness, check runout, and inspect calipers and pads to determine whether resurfacing or replacement is the safest and most economical choice. Choosing dealer service ensures OEM parts, factory-calibrated installation, and warranty protection—important for preserving vehicle value and long-term cost control. We frequently feature savings through our service specials, and we offer service financing so you can make the repair today and pay over time.
