Why is my G55 AMG shaking as I brake?

Feeling shaking or vibrating in your G55 AMG as you brake might indicate a few different problems, including worn brake pads or rotors, loose suspension components, damaged brake calipers, or warped rotors. Book an appointment for a free brake inspection as soon as you notice a problem with your brakes.

How many brake pads does my G55 AMG come with?

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 G55 AMG, 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 G55 AMG brake pads?

Brake pads generally last between 30,000 and 40,000 miles. Your driving can affect how long your G55 AMG 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.

Does brake fluid leak when the car is off?

Your G55 AMG 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.
