Lincoln's luxury sedans and SUVs share engineering with Ford but expect a quiet, refined brake feel. Here is how to choose and buy brake pads for your Lincoln.
Popular Lincoln models we cover
We carry brake pads and brake kits across the Lincoln lineup, including the Navigator, MKX, MKZ, Town Car, Aviator, MKS, MKC, and Continental. Front and rear sets are separate part numbers, and the fronts usually wear first - see front vs rear brake pads.
Which compound for a Lincoln?
Lincolns are built for a quiet, smooth ride, so quiet, low-dust ceramic pads are the natural choice - clean wheels and a serene cabin. The full-size Navigator, especially if it tows, benefits from a heavy-duty pad for fade resistance under load - see best pads for towing. Our choosing brake pads guide explains the differences.
Getting the fitment right
Lincoln brakes vary by model and rotor size, and many share components with related Ford models - the Navigator with the Expedition, for example. Confirm the exact year, model, and trim before ordering, and check front vs rear position. Each listing states the verified fitment - see our FAQ.
Do the job right
- Replace pads as a full axle set with fresh hardware to keep braking quiet.
- Inspect rotors - see when to replace rotors.
- Bed the pads in - see the bedding guide.
