1988 Ford Aerostar XLT review from North America
"Overall a good vehicle with high performance potential"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Replaced engine, rack and pinion, power steering wire.
Sliding door did not slide very well.
Sliding door did not lock by power locks.
A/C needed charging.
Replaced windshield.
General comments?
This van is a good family vehicle.
May need to replace transmission, not sure yet.
Using high performance transmission treatments to help just in case.
Replacing all old parts with as many high performance parts as I can find.
Air filters
Hosing
Wires
Replaced the seats with those of a newer model so they can fold down.
If needed I will try a transmission flush to restore the performance and the life of the transmission.
