the lining on the brake shoes that comes in contact with the brake drum 
                                                            
                                                     
                        
                                                
                        
                        
                            A friction material that is fastened to the brake shoes. Heel - The end of the brake shoe that touches the drum after the toe.
                                                            
                                                     
                        
                                                
                        
                        
                            the friction material which contacts the disc or drum to slow the vehicle down.
                                                            
                                                     
                        
                                                
                        
                        
                            Heat-resistant friction material that is pressed against the metal drum or disc to achieve braking force.
                                                            
                                                     
                        
                                                
                        
                        
                            Heat-resistant friction material that presses against the disc/drum to create braking force.
                                                            
                                                     
                        
                                                
                        
                        
                            For drum brakes, this is high-friction and heat resistant material that's attached to a brake shoe. When the shoe is pressed against the brake drum, the lining grabs the inside of the drum, which stops the wheel and thus the car.
