Front and Rear Brake Rotors
The braking system on your 2017 Lincoln MKZ relies on both front and rear rotors, but the front rotors typically do more heavy lifting because they handle a larger portion of stopping force. Front rotors usually wear faster due to weight transfer during braking, while rear rotors may last longer but still require regular inspection for warping or uneven wear. At Herb Chambers Lincoln of Westborough in Westborough, MA, our technicians measure rotor thickness, check for heat damage, and identify uneven surfaces that cause vibration or decreased stopping power. We explain whether resurfacing can restore smooth operation or if a full axle replacement is the best long-term investment. Take advantage of our transparent estimates, factory parts, and warranty protection—plus occasional service specials—to keep your MKZ operating confidently.
