Expert Reply:

The etrailer.com Electric Trailer Brake Assembly - Right Hand # AKEBRK-35R referenced in your question does not contain asbestos in the brake pads (or anywhere else on the assembly). None of the etrailer.com electric brake assemblies contain asbestos.

If you also need the Left Hand assembly, you will just need part # AKEBRK-35L.
