Front and Rear Brake Rotors

Front and rear rotors serve different roles on the 2018 Lincoln MKT: the front rotors handle the majority of braking force and typically wear faster, while the rear rotors contribute to balance and stability. Because the front axle does more work during braking, front rotors commonly require replacement sooner than rear ones. Our technicians at Herb Chambers Lincoln of Westborough measure rotor thickness and run precision diagnostics to determine whether resurfacing or replacement is the best value. We recommend replacing in pairs (both fronts or both rears) to ensure even braking and stable handling. Take advantage of our loyalty programs and current service specials to reduce out‑of‑pocket cost, and remember we offer service financing so you can address safety concerns now and pay over time.
