Lincoln Mkx Disc Brake Caliper Kit in US

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

What Is Included in the Lincoln Mkx Disc Brake Caliper Kit

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

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

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

New vs. Remanufactured Caliper for the Lincoln Mkx

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

Signs the Caliper Kit on Your Lincoln Mkx Is Due

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

Why GeoBrakes for the Lincoln Mkx Caliper Kit

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

Frequently Asked Questions - Lincoln Mkx Disc Brake Caliper Kits

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

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

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

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

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

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