What owners wrote
My clients, the frederick family (father, mother and 3-yr-old daughter) sustained third degree burns when their 1994 ford aerostar van spontaneously caught fire while travelling on I-40 near needles, california. Fire was the result of the transfer case output shaft bushing displacement, thereby failing the drive shaft which struck the pavement, then richocheted into the fuel tank and pierced the tank, allowing raw fuel to escape and ignite, probably from the catalytic converter or sparks from the drive shaft…
Front coil springs snapped, had to replaced with reading spring works, they had to send the specks to chicago. My ford aero star 4 wheel drive & 4.0 v6 is not available from after market. The only option is to buy new or used ford springs which are made in china. The local ford dealer admits replacing coil & leaf springs on several models. Midas was so busy replacing ford springs, they could not set up an appointment to install springs even if I had the springs.
