Ford Aerostar Originally conceived as an answer to the first Chrysler minivans, the Aerostar is an old school rear-drive van that's at its best when it's harnessed for hard work. It can haul--and tow--heavier loads than the front-drive crowd, and gets the job done with a fair degree of comfort and style.

Unhappy Brake problem on 96 Aerostar

I recently bought a 96 aerostar, it has developed an unusual problem with the brakes. The brake pedal does not come back up completely after the brakes are applied. I did some checking and have replaced both the master cylinder and the power booster. Changing the power booster seemed to help but 2 days later it started doing it again. Any suggestions?

First check the return spring for the brake pedal. Its under the dash and runs directly between the brake pedal and a bracket on the dash.

Then check that your brake hoses are not shot. Many times the hoses "splinter" inside and turn into a giant check valve.
