Re: remove power assist steering on 97 Silverado?

The steering sensor is responsible for some of the front end wander but it also comes from worn idler arms and pitman arms, etc. If you do replace the idler arm go with a hd unit from Moog. Also if it's not had an alignment after the lift now is the time. A toe out condition will make her wander as will tire inflation, tire wear, etc.
I suggest you unplug the sensor at the steering pump and drive it to eliminate it as a possible cause.
