Slight jerk sometimes in steering

[TristaPetersen]

I was wondering if any one has experienced this? When I get up to about 65-70 if I slightly move my steering wheel to the right or sometimes the left, not always, but sometimes their is a small slight jerk that direction in my steering. I am used to it now and hold it to keep it from doing it much, but it is kinda annoying, and I don't want it to be something that is gonna just fall apart going down the road one day. Thanks

What year is your truck? Mine is a '99 and has a sensor on the steering column. I replaced that and it resolved the same issue. Mine was never at that speed, but going around corners at 45-50.

I had this issue with my 97 a long time ago. I took it to the Chevy dealer, and they changed the sensor on the column. It never did it again.

It isn't too bad to do. Kind of a PITA.

Yeah mine is a 97 so theirs a sensor? I shall look into that mine does it after some corners and very seldom on cornering.

X2. 97 was the first year for evo, electronic variable orifice.

Could this by why my steering randomly gets bad like I have no power steering? It's completely random and only last a minute or 2.

Yeah they are easy to replace. I think at Autozone it was called a steering speed sensor

Was there some kind of sensor like this on the 88s? I get this often as well
