What can cause my Mark VII to shake when I apply the brakes?

Faulty brake calipers, worn brake pads or rotors, loose or worn suspension parts, and warped rotors can cause your Mark VII to shake during braking. If you’re experiencing odd brake behavior, schedule a free brake inspection at a nearby Firestone Complete Auto Care.

How many brake pads does my Mark VII come with?

Most cars have four brake pads per axle, with two pads on each front wheel and two on each rear wheel. The front brake pads usually wear out faster than the rear pads since they do more of the work when stopping the car.

How often do I need to replace my Mark VII brake pads?

You can usually get around 30,000 to 40,000 miles out of your brake pads, but how and where you drive your Mark VII can affect this. Hauling large loads or riding your brakes can shorten their lifespan, while smoothly braking and mostly sticking to highways can help your brake pads last longer.

Can brake fluid leak when my Mark VII is off?

Your Mark VII brake system is a closed hydraulic system, which means that the brake fluid should not leak out of the system under normal circumstances. However, over time, the various components of the brake system can wear out or become damaged, which can cause brake fluid to leak out of the system.

That's one reason we offer complimentary brake checks so that we can help you stay one step ahead of serious problems. You can request a free brake inspection at any time or during another service, like an oil change. If life has gotten in the way of everyday car care, keep the following brake information in mind.

Brake problems include unusual noises, pulsation or vibration in the steering wheel or pedal, a burnt smell coming from the tires, a dashboard brake light that’s powered on, or the feeling that something is "off." You know your Lincoln Mark VII better than anyone else. And you don't have to wait for something to go wrong. Stay ahead of problems with a free brake check. Generally speaking, automakers like Lincoln suggest that rear and front brakes are removed and serviced at least once every 12 months or 12,000 miles. That includes checking the parking brake, too.

Lincoln Mark VII Brake Pad Replacement

How often do 1986 Lincoln Mark VII brake pads need to be replaced? It depends largely on your driving style and terrain. In general, brake pads last from 30,000 to 40,000 miles. If you drive mostly on the highway and tend to brake smoothly (as opposed to slamming on the brakes), your brake pads may last longer. Alternatively, riding the brakes and hauling heavy loads can shorten their useful life. How often you need to replace your brake pads also depends on what kind you have on your Mark VII. Brake pads made of certain materials tend to outlast others. Thankfully, when you get Lincoln Mark VII brake pad replacement at Firestone Complete Auto Care, you also get a limited Lifetime Parts Warranty. Brake checks and brake pad replacements are pretty common for us, and we only use brake parts that meet or exceed Lincoln's standards.

Brake Repair for Lincoln Mark VII

Your Lincoln Mark VII may be powered by a strong engine. One that’s strong enough to take you into high mileage territory. But if you can’t brake, it might as well be scrap metal. If you’re experiencing squeaky brakes or a loss of braking power, don’t wait! Unresponsive brakes make it tough to give the road your best. What's more, waiting for things to figure themselves out can result in more damage to your brakes and your wallet. For instance, rotors may start to warp when you drive on worn brake pads, and this metal-to-metal friction shortens the life of otherwise healthy brake components. We can help you steer clear of further brake damage. Visit Firestone Complete Auto Care for the right brake repair for your 1986 Lincoln Mark VII. We offer many affordable brake repairs like brake pad/shoe replacement, rotor/drum resurfacing, brake fluid exchange, and brake caliper and wheel cylinder installation.
