Answers to Your C2500 Suburban Brakes Questions

  • What is causing my C2500 Suburban to shake when I brake? Your C2500 Suburban could shake when you brake due to worn brake pads or rotors, warped rotors, loose or worn suspension components, or faulty brake calipers. You can always schedule a free brake inspection at the first sign of strange brake behavior.
  • How many brake pads does my C2500 Suburban have? On most cars, each axle is equipped with four brake pads — two per front wheel and two per back wheel. The front wheels usually work harder to help stop your C2500 Suburban, so don’t be surprised if your front brake pads wear out faster than your rear brake pads.
  • How often do I need to replace my C2500 Suburban brake pads? Brake pads generally last between 30,000 and 40,000 miles. Your driving can affect how long your C2500 Suburban brake pads last, though. For example, mainly driving on highways and gradually braking can help increase the lifespan of your brake pads, and carrying hefty loads or riding your brakes can shorten it.
  • Can brake fluid leak when my C2500 Suburban is off? Your C2500 Suburban 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.
