EVO sensor problem?

[KCusick81]

Hello all,

I'll start by saying I'm not sure if this is the right section for this question, so I apologize ahead of time if not. I bought a 97 K1500 a few years ago. Ever since I got the truck there has been a slight steering jump when going around long radius turns. It doesn't happen on sharper turns, only curves and the like. Basically as I'm turning the steering wheel around a curve, at a certain point, the steering wheel loses resistance and jumps a little in whichever direction I'm turning. Would this be a malfunction in the EVO sensor? Or something else? Any and all info is greatly appreciated.

Thank you all for your time and expertise!
Kyle

Seems like most, if not all with EVO, have concluded deleting it is the best solution. Do an EVO search on the forum.

Whenever my 98s had bad EVO sensors (on the steering column), that’s how it acted.

If your inclined to swap out the EVO component on the pump as Caman96 mentioned, then you can forego replacing the sensor on the column.
