Lincoln Mkc Disc Brake Caliper in US

The disc brake caliper on the Lincoln Mkc is the hydraulic clamp at the centre of your Mkc disc brake system. Every time you press the brake pedal on your Lincoln Mkc, 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 Mkc 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 Mkc

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

New OEM-Spec vs. Remanufactured Calipers for the Lincoln Mkc

New OEM-Specification Calipers for the Lincoln Mkc

New OEM-specification calipers for the Lincoln Mkc are brand-new units manufactured to the exact piston dimensions, seal specifications, and material tolerances of the original Mkc factory part. They offer the longest service life on your Lincoln Mkc and are the strongest choice for higher-mileage Mkc vehicles or those operated in high-corrosion environments.

Remanufactured Calipers for the Lincoln Mkc

Remanufactured calipers for the Lincoln Mkc are original caliper housings completely disassembled, cleaned, inspected, and rebuilt with new pistons, seals, boots, and hardware. Quality remanufactured units perform identically to new calipers for most Lincoln Mkc replacement applications and offer excellent value.

Frequently Asked Questions - Lincoln Mkc Disc Brake Caliper

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

It is generally recommended to replace calipers as an axle pair on the Lincoln Mkc, both left and right on the same axle, to maintain balanced braking. If one Mkc 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 Mkc in US?

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

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

Yes. A Mkc 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 Mkc. This rapidly wears both the pad and rotor surface on your Mkc and generates enough heat buildup to damage adjacent components over time.
