Id check the vacuum booster behind the brake master cylinder. I have seen cases of boosters on fords cracking causing the booster not to work properly. Resulting in a hard pedal and hard to pull up the car.

Also the hose to the booster and the check valve where the hose connects to the booster.

What could cause a 'ping' sound when stepping on the brakes of a 1996 Ford Windstar?

Well I seem to have a similar situation.. I would say your 'ping' is a bit of a 'sprong' on my 95 Windstar. Further the brake pedal seems to bind, makes the sound and not engage the brakes.. I can apply more pressure and pass through the bind to engage the brakes or with some pumping of the pedal the binding dissipates and the brakes engage properly.. I was wondering if this is similar to your situation? Unfortunately I do not have the answer; I am on the 'net today looking for information! Should I find any info pf value I will post here.. Regards, Styx
