If I'm posting this in the wrong area I apologize. I'm new to this site seeking advice to solve my issues.

I have a 1996 GMC safari 2 wheel drive V6 Van. I stopped to make a U-Turn. I turned the steering wheel all the way to the left to turn. All the sudden I heard a POP. First i thought is was a tie rod that popped. Tie rods are fine. I have no Power Steering and No power Brakes.Barely any brakes to stop what so ever. All fluids are up with no leaks anywhere.Belt's attached. What can be the issue?

Thanks!

You probably have the Hydro-boost braking system.

This system uses power steering hydraulics to provide power assist to the braking system.

And, when you lose one (steering - brakes) you lose booth.

Do you have a broken steering hose and a fluid leak?
