A funny thing happened on the long ride back home.

My 94 Aerostar acted like it had a bad tire on the way back from Cincy on Friday evening.
Got worse and worse like a tire almost down on the rim.
I found a back road and drove 35 mph into Mt. Orab. There was an Advance Auto and an Auto-Zone there. The Advance had shade, so I asked if I could jack up the van and find the problem.
He said that was okay so I lifted the right front clear(since it was much hotter than the left front rim).
Caliper had stuck with brake pressure on the rotor.
Disassembled, replaced the caliper,27 bucks, and took off! Sure is handy to keep tools in the van. LOL!

It's a good thing that you were able to fix it yourself. A small station with very little business might try to take advantage of the situation. This is where they got the term "highway robbery".

Yes, that is so true,Brooklyn. Fortunately the Aerostar is a breeze to work on compared to the later cars of today.
