OEM Lincoln Brake Calipers

Your Lincoln came with a set of brake calipers already installed at the factory. That's because they're an essential part of your vehicle's braking system.

What Brake Calipers Do

When you step on your brake pedal, the master brake cylinder sends brake fluid to the pistons and charge the calipers. The pressure builds up until the brake calipers clamp onto the brake rotors and create the friction needed to slow and eventually stop your wheels.

Since your calipers and rotors are both made of metal, the calipers have brake pads installed on them to protect against damage. Eventually, though, the heat generated during the braking process can damage your calipers.

How to Spot Failing Brake Calipers

Signs of caliper problems include:

• A soft or spongy brake pedal
• A squealing or grinding sound when you brake
• Your Lincoln pulls to one side when you brake
• You have to repeatedly pump your brakes to get them to work

Driving with bad brake calipers isn't safe. When you do need to replace your old set, make sure to use the best ones for your vehicle. Those are always the genuine brake calipers that were made by Lincoln, and made specifically for your model.
