New Pump & Sending Unit but Gauge Still Fluctuates

Hello.
I have a 95 Lumina 3.1L w/ ~155K mi.
The fuel gauge has always moved erratically whenever making turns, accelerating, and braking since I have had the car for 2 years.

I recently replaced the fuel pump and sending unit in the tank.
Surprisingly, my fuel gauge still reads erratically as I make turns, etc. even with the new sending unit. It reads accurate and steady so long as you are driving straight. The wires at the sending unit seemed fine, although I did not trace them all the way to the instrument panel.

Do Luminas around this year usually have sensitive gas gauges/sending units which fluctuate as you turn, etc.?

This is the first Lumina I have owned and driven.

Thanks.
