Lincoln Mkx Disc Brake Caliper in US

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

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

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

New OEM-Specification Calipers for the Lincoln Mkx

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

Remanufactured Calipers for the Lincoln Mkx

Remanufactured calipers for the Lincoln Mkx 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 Mkx replacement applications and offer excellent value.

Frequently Asked Questions - Lincoln Mkx Disc Brake Caliper

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

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

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

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

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