  • Not always required, but replacing pads and rotors together optimizes braking performance and prevents accelerated wear.
  • Our technicians inspect pad thickness, rotor runout, and surface condition and recommend the most cost-effective option—repair, resurfacing, or replacement.

  • Visible grooves, rust buildup, or scoring on the rotor surface; grinding noises during braking.
  • If you notice any symptoms, schedule service so our certified technicians can inspect and recommend the right solution.

How do you know when to replace brake rotors?

  • Rotors should be replaced when thickness falls below the manufacturer's minimum, when runout exceeds spec, or when damage prevents safe resurfacing.
  • We measure rotor thickness and runout to determine if resurfacing is possible or replacement is required.
  • Choosing replacement at Herb Chambers Lincoln of Westborough ensures OEM fit, warranty coverage, and long-term reliability.

How often should you replace your 2017 Lincoln Navigator rotors?

  • There is no fixed interval—inspection is key. Typical replacement windows are 40,000–70,000 miles depending on use.

  • Use our convenient online tools to schedule service and ask about financing to manage cost.

What is the difference between resurfacing and replacing brake rotors?

  • Resurfacing (turning) restores a rotor’s flat surface when thickness and runout are within safe limits; replacement is required when rotors are too thin or damaged.
  • Resurfacing can be a budget-friendly option, but replacement provides longer-term reliability—our advisors explain immediate cost vs. long-term value.
  • All warranty repairs must be performed at a certified dealership to maintain coverage; check our service specials before your visit.

Front and Rear Brake Rotors

Understanding the difference between front and rear rotors on a 2017 Lincoln Navigator helps you prioritize service and budget wisely. Front rotors handle the majority of stopping force because weight transfers forward during braking; as a result they typically wear faster than rear rotors. Rear rotors still play a critical role in stability, especially when towing or carrying heavy loads—the Navigator’s towing capacity and curb weight mean both axles see significant stress under load. At Herb Chambers Lincoln of Westborough, our certified technicians measure rotor thickness, check for runout and scoring, and evaluate caliper and pad condition before recommending resurfacing or replacement. We use OEM-equivalent parts and provide clear estimates that explain immediate costs and the long-term savings of choosing quality components and professional installation.
