Front and Rear Brake Rotors

Front and rear rotors perform different roles on a 2013 Lincoln MKZ and can wear at different rates. The front rotors generally handle a larger share of braking force and heat dissipation, causing them to wear faster than rear rotors under normal driving conditions. Rear rotors still contribute to stability and parking brake function, so neglecting them can lead to uneven braking and potential safety issues. Our technicians assess both axles, measure rotor thickness to manufacturer minima, and recommend resurfacing only when it offers safe, lasting performance. Herb Chambers Lincoln of Westborough uses OEM parts, backed by warranties and installed by certified staff, which offers immediate savings through fewer comebacks and long-term savings via extended part life and better resale value.
