brake linings

Stopping system components

Brake linings are the friction material attached to brake shoes or pads that press against a rotating surface to slow or stop a vehicle.

When you apply the brakes, the linings grip the drum or rotor, converting motion into heat.

They wear down over time and must be replaced: The mechanic said my brake linings were almost gone.
