Lincoln Mark Lt Disc Brake Caliper Kit in US

When a caliper on the Lincoln Mark Lt seizes, leaks, or drags, the damage does not stop at the caliper. A partially seized caliper on your Mark Lt keeps the brake pad in continuous contact with the rotor, wearing the pad unevenly and scoring the rotor surface. By the time the caliper on the Lincoln Mark Lt is identified as the fault, the pads are typically worn asymmetrically and the rotor is damaged. A caliper kit from GeoBrakes addresses every compromised component on your Lincoln Mark Lt together.

What Is Included in the Lincoln Mark Lt Disc Brake Caliper Kit

The kit for your Lincoln Mark Lt includes the disc brake caliper at the correct left or right hand specification for the Mark Lt, either new OEM-spec or quality remanufactured to the Lincoln Mark Lt piston dimension and hydraulic pressure rating, brake pads in ceramic or semi-metallic formulation matched to the Mark Lt caliper and rotor specification, caliper hardware with slide pins, pin boots, and anti-rattle clips for correct caliper float on the Lincoln Mark Lt, brake lubricant for correct pin and shim installation on your Mark Lt, and copper washers or banjo bolt seals for the brake hose connection where required by the Lincoln Mark Lt application.

When a Caliper Kit Is the Correct Service Choice for the Lincoln Mark Lt

A caliper kit is the right call for the Lincoln Mark Lt in three specific situations. After a seized or dragging caliper, because the pads and often the rotor on your Mark Lt are already compromised. During a high-mileage Mark Lt overhaul at 150,000 kilometres or more, because caliper piston seals and guide pin boots on the Lincoln Mark Lt are typically at or beyond their service life. After a brake fluid leak at the caliper, because fluid contamination of the Mark Lt brake pad renders the friction material permanently ineffective on your Lincoln Mark Lt.

New vs. Remanufactured Caliper for the Lincoln Mark Lt

New OEM-specification calipers for the Lincoln Mark Lt are manufactured from fresh materials with no prior service history, the strongest choice for Mark Lt vehicles in high-corrosion environments. Remanufactured calipers use original Lincoln Mark Lt housings rebuilt with new pistons, seals, and boots, performing identically to new units at a lower price point for most Mark Lt replacement applications.

Signs the Caliper Kit on Your Lincoln Mark Lt Is Due

• Lincoln Mark Lt pulling to one side during braking, one caliper applying more force than the other
• One brake pad on your Mark Lt worn significantly more than its pair on the same axle
• Brake drag on the Lincoln Mark Lt with a wheel that runs hot after normal driving
• Soft or sinking Mark Lt brake pedal caused by a caliper piston seal leak
• Brake fluid visible around the Lincoln Mark Lt caliper piston boot
• Persistent metallic dragging noise from one Mark Lt corner not explained by worn pads

Frequently Asked Questions - Lincoln Mark Lt Disc Brake Caliper Kits

Should I replace both calipers on my Lincoln Mark Lt at the same time?

It is strongly recommended. If one caliper on the Lincoln Mark Lt has seized or leaked, the caliper on the opposite side has experienced the same conditions and age on your Mark Lt. Replacing both restores balanced, even braking and eliminates the risk of the second Mark Lt caliper failing shortly after the first is replaced.

Do I need to bleed the brakes on my Lincoln Mark Lt after installing a caliper kit?

Yes. Opening the hydraulic circuit on the Lincoln Mark Lt to install the new caliper allows air to enter. After installation, the brake circuit on the Mark Lt must be bled at the caliper bleeder screw to purge all air and restore a firm, consistent brake pedal on your Lincoln Mark Lt.

What is the difference between a new and remanufactured caliper in the Lincoln Mark Lt kit?

A new caliper for the Lincoln Mark Lt has no prior service history and is the stronger choice for high-corrosion environments. A remanufactured caliper uses an original Mark Lt housing rebuilt with new pistons, seals, and boots, performing identically to new at a lower price point for most Lincoln Mark Lt applications.
