There is a vacuum attachment on the power brake booster. If there is a vacuum leak this part could be causing the brakes to be hard, or this part could be the vacuum leak. The steering could also be vacuum assisted occurring from the same source.
Are there any other symptoms (i.e. vent/floor/defrost not blowing air or changing properly)?

What is the problem when you can not steer nor brake the car 97 GMC astro its very hard t o steer the steering wheel and hard to brake its very hard when pressing the brake pedal?
For several years of the Chevy astro van had a power brake and power steering system that was linked together. Instead of a brake booster, the power steering pump provides power to the power brake system. Often, if the brake pedal would become hard to push, it is a power steering pump problem. Change the power steering pump and the power steering fluid and your problem may disappear.

96 gmc safari van the power steering and the brakes are out this morning fluids are good and so are the belts any idea what the problem might be?
Are the brakes out or is the power brake system not working properly. I believe those vehicles have the hydro boost power brake system. If so, the power steering pump is what applies the power brakes, no vacuum is needed. If something is wrong with the power steering pump (empty, no belt, malfunctioning) it will affect the power brakes as well.

It is probably your brake booster located on the firewall.

You could be pressing the brake pedal too hard. Another reason why it may jerk is because the pull brake is engaged.
What do you do if your 1995 aerostar van won't come out of park when you have the brakes pushed in?
Try moving the steering wheel at same time If moving the steering wheel does not work, it is likely a problem with the Brake/Shift Interlock switch located at the brake pedal lever. It maybe that a wire is broken or, the switch is bad. I had this problem with a 1997. The brake light fuse was blown because of a trailer. With the brake fuse blown, it would not come out of Park.
