What is causing my 718 Boxster to shake when I brake?

Your 718 Boxster 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 718 Boxster come with?

The brake system on most vehicles consists of four brake pads per axle, with two brake pads installed on each front wheel and two on each rear wheel. The front wheels of your 718 Boxster put in more work when stopping your vehicle, so the front brake pads are likely to wear out quicker than the rear brake pads.

How often do I need to replace my 718 Boxster 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 718 Boxster 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.

Does brake fluid leak when the car is off?

Your 718 Boxster brake system is a closed hydraulic system, so a brake fluid leak likely means you have an issue in your brake system. Over time, brake components can wear out or get damaged, causing a brake fluid leak.
