Are you sure something else is not binding when this occurs, i.e. broken spring, suspension parts, tire/rim, wheel bearing/hub etc etc.
The Astro Van power steering and brakes work off the same pupm. Check the pump for fluid. If it's full and the brakes and steering still hard you must replace the pump
your car is probably trashy
yes.
Possibly bad wheel bearing.
Remove the tire and wheel from your 1998 Chevy Astro Van. Remove the brake spring and caliper. The brake pads will come off. Reverse the process to install the new front brakes.
The brakes apply force to the wheel, causing friction which stops it.
You increase the friction.
You have a blown / leaking wheel cylinder. Replace wheel cylinder.
A piston on each end of the wheel cylinder pushes outward when the brakes are applied. This pushes the brake shoes against the brake drum and stops the vehicle. The pistons are forced out by the pressure of the brake fluid inside the wheel cylinder when you apply the brakes.

friction by applying the brakes? When you apply the brakes, there are pads on either side of the metal part of the wheel, they squeeze together tighter and tighter until the wheel stops turning, which stops the motion of the bike.
Yes, there is a D-pad on the left hand side of the steering wheel just for such an action.
