    From the Bendixbrakes.com website:

    Q. I'm getting premature front pad wear on a Caravan. How do I properly
    adjust the height/load sensing valve?

    A. Check the service manual as procedures differ by year of manufacture
    date. Adjustment procedures require the vehicle to be raised on a frame
    engaging lift. Some models call for the rear axle to be suspended which
    allows full extension of valve's mechanical control arm. Use of line
    pressure gauges is required to verify correct valve operation and output
    control. *** Some Caravans have problems with the brake light switch holding
    slight pressure in the calipers. ***

    Could this be why my '97 exhibits pulsation after highway trips - any ideas
    on how to check if the brake light switch is the culprit ?
