Front and Rear Brake Rotors

On the 2012 Lincoln MKT, front rotors usually handle the majority of braking force and heat, so they commonly wear faster than rear rotors. Front rotors typically experience higher loads because weight transfers forward during braking; that extra stress accelerates wear, creates hotter friction cycles, and sometimes leads to grooves or warping sooner than rear rotors. Rear rotors still play a critical role in balanced stopping power and vehicle stability, especially during low-speed maneuvers and when towing. At Herb Chambers Lincoln of Westborough, our technicians assess front and rear rotors separately, measuring thickness and runout to determine if resurfacing is viable or if full replacement with OEM rotors is the right call. We explain the cost implications of delaying repairs—uneven rotors can reduce pad life, increase stopping distances, and stress ABS components—so timely service often saves money long term. Check our current service specials, and when you’re ready, schedule service online for a fast, reliable appointment with certified technicians who prioritize safety and lasting results.
