Front and Rear Brake Rotors

The 2013 Lincoln Navigator's braking system relies on both front and rear rotors to bring a heavy luxury SUV to a controlled stop. Front rotors carry the majority of braking load during normal deceleration because weight transfers forward; that means front rotors commonly wear faster than rear rotors. Rear rotors still perform essential work—especially during low-speed maneuvers and when towing—and improper rear braking can upset vehicle balance. At Herb Chambers Lincoln of Westborough we evaluate both axle sets during inspections and explain the difference in wear patterns. Our certified Lincoln technicians use calibrated equipment to measure rotor thickness and runout; if resurfacing is possible, we recommend it only when safety and manufacturer specifications allow. If replacement is required we use OEM-grade rotors to maintain the factory brake feel and preserve warranty coverage. We also point customers to current service specials and discuss service financing so you can manage the expense without delay.
