brake shoe
Wheel-hugging friction block
A brake shoe is a curved metal piece lined with friction material that presses against a drum to slow or stop a wheel.
Found in drum brakes on vehicles, the shoe pivots outward when the brake is applied, creating friction against the rotating drum's inner surface.
The mechanic replaced the worn brake shoes.
