Do they still put asbestos in vehicle brake shoes?

Aug 22, 2011 by skyalert | Posted in Safety

I smelled my brakes when I stopped suddenly. Could there have been asbestos in the air that I breathed in?

No, there is no asbestos in brakes.

They do make a noticeable smell if you heat them up with hard braking.
