Which of the following components would most likely lead to uneven braking?

Rotors with varying thickness
Slightly worn brake pads
Caliper bolts
Brake pedal assembly

The correct answer is: Rotors with varying thickness

The component most likely to lead to uneven braking is rotors with varying thickness. This is because the rotors serve as the surface against which the brake pads grip to slow down or stop the vehicle. If the rotors have different thicknesses, it can create areas where the brake pads make uneven contact. This results in irregular braking forces applied to the brake pads, which can lead to situations where one side of the vehicle may brake more effectively than the other, causing the vehicle to pull to one side during braking or to experience vibration and reduced stopping power. Worn brake pads may impact braking performance, but they do not inherently cause uneven braking unless they are excessively worn unevenly across the pad surface. Caliper bolts, while critical for maintaining the caliper's position relative to the rotor, do not directly cause uneven braking unless they are severely damaged or misaligned, leading to caliper issues. The brake pedal assembly affects how the driver applies braking pressure but does not directly cause uneven braking across the brake system itself.
