Lincoln Blackwood Disc Brake Caliper in US

The disc brake caliper on the Lincoln Blackwood is the hydraulic clamp at the centre of your Blackwood disc brake system. Every time you press the brake pedal on your Lincoln Blackwood, brake fluid pressure forces the caliper pistons outward, squeezing the brake pads against the rotor and generating the friction that stops your vehicle. A seized, leaking, or sticking caliper on the Blackwood interferes with that process at the source, causing uneven braking, accelerated pad and rotor wear, and pulling to one side that worsens over time.

Signs of a Failing Disc Brake Caliper on the Lincoln Blackwood

• Lincoln Blackwood pulls strongly to one side during braking, a seized caliper on one side applies more force
• Brake pedal on your Blackwood feels soft or spongy and improves after pumping, caliper piston seal leaking
• One brake pad on your Lincoln Blackwood axle wears significantly faster than its partner
• Brake drag on the Lincoln Blackwood, vehicle feels like it is fighting resistance at normal road speed
• Visible brake fluid leaking from the Blackwood caliper body or around the piston boot
• Grinding or scraping from one Lincoln Blackwood wheel that persists after confirming pads are not worn

Frequently Asked Questions - Lincoln Blackwood Disc Brake Caliper

Should I replace brake calipers on my Lincoln Blackwood in pairs?

It is generally recommended to replace calipers as an axle pair on the Lincoln Blackwood, both left and right on the same axle, to maintain balanced braking. If one Blackwood caliper has failed, the caliper on the opposite side has experienced the same service conditions and is likely at a similar stage of wear.

How long do disc brake calipers last on a Lincoln Blackwood in US?

Lincoln Blackwood calipers typically last 100,000 to 150,000 kilometres, but American road salt and moisture accelerate corrosion of Blackwood caliper guide pins, slide pins, and piston seal boots, often causing premature failure on the Lincoln Blackwood well before that figure.

Can a sticking caliper on my Lincoln Blackwood damage my brake pads and rotors?

Yes. A Blackwood caliper that does not fully retract keeps the brake pad in partial contact with the rotor between stops, generating constant friction and heat on your Lincoln Blackwood. This rapidly wears both the pad and rotor surface on your Blackwood and generates enough heat buildup to damage adjacent components over time.
