The weak point in any hydraulic system, including your Lincoln brake caliper, is leakage. Leaks in the master cylinder, wheel cylinder, or Lincoln brake caliper reduce the efficiency of the system and, if they're severe enough, can cause total brake failure. The Lincoln brake caliper is no more or less susceptible to leakage than any other brake component on your Town Car or Navigator, but it's one you can easily inspect. Once a month, peek inside the spokes of your wheels and look at the Lincoln brake caliper. It's that lump of metal straddling the brake rotor. If there's any moisture or a dark colored staining on the Lincoln brake caliper, you have a potential leak on your hands. If you check your brake fluid reservoir under the hood and find it low, then you definitely need to find out if your Lincoln brake caliper is the culprit. So what makes a Lincoln brake caliper leak in the first place? Sometimes age is to blame: The rubber seals and O-rings in the Lincoln brake caliper have a finite life span that can be shortened in the absence of periodic maintenance. That maintenance is as simple as a brake fluid flush every two years or so-a pretty easy procedure to ensure the longevity of your Lincoln brake caliper. So be sure to maintain your brake system, and if your Lincoln brake caliper is already leaking, order a new one from us.
