Lincoln Mkt Disc Brake Caliper Kit in US

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

What Is Included in the Lincoln Mkt Disc Brake Caliper Kit

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

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

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

New vs. Remanufactured Caliper for the Lincoln Mkt

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

Signs the Caliper Kit on Your Lincoln Mkt Is Due

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

Why GeoBrakes for the Lincoln Mkt Caliper Kit

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

Frequently Asked Questions - Lincoln Mkt Disc Brake Caliper Kits

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

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

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

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

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

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