Ford AerostarOriginally 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.
I have a wobbling passenger side tire. I jacked it up and saw approx 3-4" play with hands at 9:00 and 3:00 it seems the play is inside rack boot. New tires, balljoints good.
I checked drivers side and there was very little play.
Is it the inner tie rod that needs replacement?
Anywhere to find an exploded view of rack and tie rods?
Special tools involved?
special proceedures?
Aloha,

Reason: add information
IMHO, I would change out the rack. I replaced mine in my 90 Areo with a lifetime warrenty rack for about $100. Did it in about a hour.
