Lincoln Town Car Disc Brake Caliper Kit in US

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

What Is Included in the Lincoln Town Car Disc Brake Caliper Kit

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

When a Caliper Kit Is the Correct Service Choice for the Lincoln Town Car

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

New vs. Remanufactured Caliper for the Lincoln Town Car

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

Frequently Asked Questions - Lincoln Town Car Disc Brake Caliper Kits

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

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

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

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

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

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