Replace the tie rod ends. You need penetrating oil, a pair of big pipe wrenches, and some strength to get the ends off.

The steering stabilizer looks like it's shot. It's 2 bolts to remove; super easy. With that leak I'll bet you can easily compress it by hand. A new steering stabilizer is cheap and worth the money[1].

If you plan on lifting the Jeep in the future, get an adjustable track bar[2]. Also super easy to replace

Go for an alignment after you do this, particularly if you don't tape the threads on the old tie rod ends to act as a guide for how far to thread the new ones in.

I have no idea how many miles you have on your jeep, but I'll just give some perspective:

at 65k I had to replace all my shocks. Had to. They were all shot.
at 90k I put a 3" lift on. Steering stabilizer, track bar, shocks, front end links, and OME springs went in the front. This made my suspension and steering amazingly tight.
at 120k I replaced tie rod ends. Had to.

If you're over 100k and everything looks stock, I highly recommend throwing $1k at the suspension. Even if your'e not going to lift it, replacing everything will make a HUGE difference.

Oh, and sign up for a couple forums. This sub is nice, but forums are much better wealths of knowledge.

Overly-sensitive Ford steering of your van's vintage, IIRC, is often caused by aftermarket and rebuilt steering boxes not having the same gearing as the originals. One fix is to install an adjustable steering valve that lets you dial in the power-assistance level yourself, or a steering stabilizer kit (basically a shock absorber for your steering). I recall you doing a minor lift with some taller rubber, and the latter is a common complement to those, because of the added leverage the wheels then have on the vehicle.
