Front and Rear Brake Rotors

Front and rear rotors serve distinct roles on your 2012 Lincoln Navigator. The front rotors handle most braking force and heat dissipation, so they typically wear faster than rear rotors; heavy towing or highway driving accelerates front rotor wear. Rear rotors assist with balance, parking brakes, and vehicle stability. When one set shows excessive wear or warping, the resulting vibration compromises ride quality and safety. At Herb Chambers Lincoln of Westborough, our certified technicians evaluate both axles with precision tools, measuring thickness and runout before recommending resurfacing or replacement. We use OEM parts and follow Lincoln specifications to preserve performance and warranty coverage. If you’re managing budget or downtime, ask about current service specials and our service financing to get repairs done now and pay later.
