52.) On a vehicle equipped with floating caliper dics brakes, one of the outside brake pads is worn more than the other pads. This could be caused by: OA. a stuck caliper piston. B. binding caliper guide pins. OC. a restricted flexible brake hose D. overfilling the master cylinder

## Step 1<br />The problem is about diagnosing a specific issue in a vehicle's braking system, specifically in floating caliper disc brakes. The issue is that one of the outside brake pads is worn more than the other pads. The options provided are potential causes of this issue.<br /><br />## Step 2<br />Option A suggests that a stuck caliper piston could cause uneven wear of the brake pads. However, this is unlikely to cause one brake pad to wear more than the others.<br /><br />## Step 3<br />Option B suggests that binding caliper guide pins could cause uneven wear of the brake pads. This is a plausible cause because if the guide pins are binding, they could prevent the caliper from moving freely, leading to uneven wear of the brake pads.<br /><br />## Step 4<br />Option C suggests that a restricted flexible brake hose could cause uneven wear of the brake pads. However, this is unlikely to cause one brake pad to wear more than the others.<br /><br />## Step 5<br />Option D suggests that overfilling the master cylinder could cause uneven wear of the brake pads. However, this is unlikely to cause one brake pad to wear more than the others.
