2007 - 2012 Lincoln MKZ how to replace brakes rotors & brake pads.
2011 Lincoln MKZ how to brakes replacement.
Pros
You want to maximize fuel economy and efficiency without sacrificing a luxurious ride and the accoutrements that make it so. The 2011 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid is several hundred dollars cheaper than the Lexus HS 250h, which will undoubtedly sway at least a few buyers.
Cons
You aren’t averse to bold styling. Like its brand brethren, the MKZ has got the brand DNA right in your face with massive twin chrome grilles in front and long taillights astern. It’s not quite as extreme as the fascia on the MKX crossover, but it’ll still get attention.
Interior Comfort
While the interior of the 2011 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid does feel a little dated with an abundance of cheap, hard plastics, the technical features within more than make up for the lackluster cabin appointments. The SmartGauge instruments - which offer feedback on long-term fuel efficiency and driving performance - are impressive and give the car an almost sentient personality as it interacts with the driver. An interactive multimedia and touch screen interface sits in the center stack, allowing you to easily manipulate the navigation, climate and audio controls along with hands-free calling (if you’d rather not use SYNC for some of these, that is).
Exterior Styling
If you like the glorious grilles up front, you’re likely not to have any problem with the rest of the 2011 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid’s exterior, although we will point out that the rest of the car’s styling is a little sedate in contrast with the front end. Unlike the more sharply creased Ford Fusion Hybrid, the MKZ has a more stately look to it. The standard wheels are painted multi-spoke 17-inchers, with 18-inch polished aluminum alloys available as an option. There’s also a Sport Appearance Package that might help a bit with the ho-hum rear three quarters.
Favorite Features
Driver Interfaces
We must profess our love for the intuitive and responsive touch screen technology aboard today’s Fords - err, Lincolns. That, along with the SmartGauge driver-interactive instrumentation and SYNC capability, gives the Lincoln MKZ Hybrid a distinctly high-tech feel. Almost like we are in fact driving the future.
SmartGauge with EcoGuide
All hybrids, regardless of make, should come with a system like this, especially considering that most typically buy a hybrid for absolute fuel efficiency domination. This system, by offering feedback on long-term fuel efficiency and driving performance, helps you eek the most mpgs out of your car.
Standard Features
A robust standard equipment list is likely where Lincoln will sell most of its buyers. The 2011 MKZ Hybrid comes with a host of standard convenience and luxury features, including the SmartGauge cluster and the always-entertaining SYNC voice-activated communications and entertainment system, along with Bluetooth capability for your MP3 player, memory stick, or smartphone. The MyKey feature allows parents or fleet administrators to activate a restricted driving mode and works directly with consistently engaged stability control, blind spot monitoring, and Cross Traffic Alert. And finally, there’s what’s called the "Personal Safety System," a suite of seven protection technologies like dual-stage front airbags and an occupant classification system that work to protect vehicle inhabitants.
Factory Options
Options on the 2011 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid include a THX II certified audio system with 5.1 surround sound, navigation with integrated SIRIUS Travel Link, a power moonroof and 18-inch polished aluminum wheels. If you opt for the Sport Appearance Package you also get a sport-tuned suspension bundled into the mix.
Engine & Transmission
The 2011 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid is powered by Ford’s second-generation hybrid technology - the 2.5-liter Atkinson-Cycle in-line four-cylinder engine that’s also found in Ford’s Fusion and Escape Hybrid models. The engine itself makes 156 peak horsepower at the top end of the tachometer, but electric motivation gives the car an additional 35 horsepower boost, via a permanent magnet AC synchronous motor and nickel-metal-hydride battery packs. The well-matched combo is enough to give the MKZ Hybrid a best-in-class total system power output of 191 horsepower. No, it isn’t going to win many stoplight drag races, but that’s respectable considering that it returns 39 combined mpg and a claimed 47 mpg when cruising under all-electric motivation. And while its gas-powered MKZ brothers are available with either front-wheel or all-wheel drive, the Hybrid puts its power down using only the front wheels.
2.5-liter in-line 4, permanent magnet AC synchronous motor
191 horsepower @ 6000 rpm (engine and motor combined)
136 lb.-ft. of torque @ 2250 rpm
EPA city/highway fuel economy: 41/36
Thanks for your help. Next I'd like to see a video on replacing front struts on the 2011 MKZ.

Thank you for the video. I live in Vermont, do you have any suggestions for rusted bolts?
Spray them with wd40
Do you change the rear pads the same as the front?

Great video nice and clear 👍
Are the rear rotors bigger than the front ones?
They are different tho
The T 40 hex brake EZ. Put a little anti seize on them before torquing them down will help with removing them in the future and save your T40 tip from breaking the next time you remove them . Also I put some on the wheel studs.
Was going to ask about those bolts. Thanks for the info.
@@woodwardjr the bolts ? You mean wheel studs.?? I put a little on the studs to keep them moving and it prevents rust.
I use the ultra copper anti seize. I think it’s the best one.
@@johnbrown4937 I meant those T40 hex head bolts. Thanks for the info!
@@woodwardjr they rust themselves in . Then when you try to remove them they break the hex tip off.
If you put a little anti seize on the threads it will save your tip from breaking ..
What was the tool called that you used to put the piston back?
