Do you have to replace brake pads and rotors at the same time on a 2018 Lincoln MKX?

What are the signs of bad brake rotors?

  • Common signs include vibration through the brake pedal, pulsation during braking, visible scoring or cracking, and uneven pad wear—report these symptoms and schedule service promptly.
  • Addressing problems early at our dealership reduces repair complexity and often lowers long-term cost while protecting warranty coverage.

How do you know when to replace brake rotors?

  • Replacement is recommended when rotors fall below minimum thickness, show deep grooves, or warp. Our certified technicians measure thickness and assess condition during inspection.
  • We provide transparent estimates, OEM parts, and warranty-backed installation so you realize both immediate safety and reduced future expense.

How often should you replace your 2018 Lincoln MKX rotors?

  • We offer maintenance reminders, service specials, and convenient online booking—schedule service today to protect performance.

What is the difference between resurfacing and replacing brake rotors?

  • Resurfacing (machining) smooths minor imperfections and restores a flat braking face when rotor thickness remains above minimum; replacement is required for deep damage, cracks, or excessive thinning.
  • Our dealership recommends the safest, most cost-effective path: resurfacing when appropriate to save money now, or replacement for long-term reliability and warranty compliance. Certified repairs must be performed at a dealership to retain coverage.

Front and Rear Brake Rotors

The front and rear rotors on a 2018 Lincoln MKX serve distinct roles: front rotors handle most of the braking load and therefore often wear faster, while rear rotors contribute to balance and parking-brake function. At Herb Chambers Lincoln of Westborough in Westborough, MA, our service team carefully inspects both axles to determine whether resurfacing will restore smooth braking or whether replacement is safer and more cost-effective long term. Front rotors typically require more robust cooling and may show greater heat-related wear; rear rotors can accumulate rust or uneven wear from less frequent use. Choosing OEM rotors and following manufacturer torque and bedding procedures ensures consistent pedal feel and prevents accelerated wear. We communicate clear estimates, include labor and parts breakdowns, and highlight immediate and long-term savings from professional service. To protect performance and warranty coverage, schedule service online or review current service specials before your visit.
