Lincoln Mks Disc Brake Caliper Kit in US

When a caliper on the Lincoln Mks seizes, leaks, or drags, the damage does not stop at the caliper. A partially seized caliper on your Mks 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 Mks 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 Mks together.

What Is Included in the Lincoln Mks Disc Brake Caliper Kit

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

When a Caliper Kit Is the Correct Service Choice for the Lincoln Mks

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

New vs. Remanufactured Caliper for the Lincoln Mks

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

Signs the Caliper Kit on Your Lincoln Mks Is Due

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

Why GeoBrakes for the Lincoln Mks Caliper Kit

Calipers for the Lincoln Mks are the most position-specific brake component in the catalogue. Left and right calipers for the Mks are not interchangeable. Our vehicle selector confirms the correct caliper kit for the Lincoln Mks exact year, axle position, and left or right side before purchase.

Frequently Asked Questions - Lincoln Mks Disc Brake Caliper Kits

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

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

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

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

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

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