I copied below off an asbestos webpage from 2023
Historically, drum and disc brakes were manufactured with 35% to 60% asbestos. Today, it remains legal in the U.S. to sell asbestos-containing auto parts, and many brake and clutch parts continue to contain up to 35% asbestos.

Think the gov has outlawed them because you were causing global warming.
What you don't buy your brake parts from the illegal black market? Set of pads from Nepal for like $3 man
i watched a bunch work the old grade school all they striped was pipe work,. from the boiler room to the class rooms.sure was glad my bid did'nt win that auction!
I was in the asbestos program at the shipyard after being exposed removing insulation off an old boat in the 80s. Most of the old timers had already lungs full of it by the time the asbestos program came to light. Many too have passed now due to lung issues and others are carrying O2 around with them 24/7
It takes decades for asbestos exposure to surface.
Housewives got sick from doing their spouses laundry covered in asbestos.
Some are more prone than others to asbestos related disease. My respirologist told me after my diagnoses that I would have 9-10 years of decent health, that was about 23 years ago.
Cheap brake pads squeak....
i was exposed in the 1960's myself,the worked the river boats from1973 till 1989 then went to work for myself.old towboats are covered in pipe work wraped in asbestos .
With all the other broken components of my body, I doubt if I’ll make it another 20 years to find out what that asbestos might’ve done… I was exposed to the asbestos back in 1969 so if I was going to get it, I would’ve known by now. I was diagnosed with another damn lung disease so I guess it doesn’t matter which one you have. They’re all gonna get you one way or the other.
Even at my tender young age already know if it’s not one thing it’s another something is definitely going to kill me ..I’m already working on a long list of possibilities
to say nothing about what it does to your insides
What do they say, "no one gets out alive."
Farmers get siliconosus (sp) from breathing dust when farming.
I'm guessing I've got the double whammy. Spent from 8 years old to 20 sucking down dust riding a tractor all day every summer. Then the past 30 years changing brakes and clutches. That's not counting the dozen blast furnaces we built for smelting silver. Also got to add 20,000 packs of cigs....fudge I'm screwed.......
