what can this be?

These van's rear shoe supposed self-adjusting mechanism if it has not been taken apart and lubed and then readjusted when replacing shoes in the back shoes will not self-adjust and therefore causes excessive front disc wear and warping of front rotors. Also, check the rear wheel cyclinders that leaked on mine recently causing the fronts to wear very quickly and unvevenly. Ensure rear drums are turned and checked for minimum thickness. I personally adjust my rear shoes so that I only get 3-4 clicks when I engage my emergency brake. If it goes beyond that, I know my self-adjuster may not be doing it's job.
Let us know what solved your issue.
