You need someone knowledgeable to get the van on a lift and inspect those related components. Sounds like something is broken or damaged or worn out.
I drive it to n from work everyday. Some days it gives me no issues really...others I'm scared to hit any kind of bump or turn the wheel....I have had my breaks cleaned and adjusted once before...I did have someone tell me my sway bar bushings may be bad....
This is more than "cleaning" and "adjusting". Take it to a reliable shop and have it inspected before you get in a condition you can't control.
Update... took it to the shop that had always worked on my van... they checked everything. Come to find out it was just 1 bad spark plug. How one little problem causes everything to go crazy. Everything under the van was perfect from the last time they fixed my break system.
