Steering Column Repair: 93 ford aerostar automatic shift lever disconnected, ford steering column, ford aerostar

Question
hi I have 1993 ford aerostar awd, it's a non tilt
steering wheel. I was trying to put the car in
drive from park. When pulling back on shift
lever I heard a tink, now the lever is loose and
it won't move out of park. It feels like the lever
has disconnected from the steering column

Answer
Hi Cheryl:

It sound like one of two things has happened to your van.  This is very common for this type of vehicle.
We have recently uploaded pages and a description of how to repair and/or rebuild the shift tube of a Ford steering column.  They are broken down into step by step detailed instructions on our website. Although the example is for a different vehicle than yours, the column is identical to yours (tilt and non tilt use the same housing)
