It sounds like your rack and pinion is going bad. Sadly, it is a common failure on this generation (2001-2007) Chrysler minivan. Replacing the rack isn't a bad job, but since it would need to be aligned afterwards, you are probably better off taking it to a shop. I'd also recommend calling several shops to get a quote - include a reputable chrysler or dodge dealer in that list. Sometimes the dealer *can* be cheaper.
