I had that happen to me b4. You should upgrade to a metal gear servo because the gears in your servo are striped.

The noise that you are hearing is a very common sound that servos make when they are applying pressure to the component that they are moving. It won't hurt a thing. I usually hear my steering servo after a good bash. I align my front end and use the trim for the fine tune and if it really bothers you use the trim to find the neutral or center position of the servo.

Sounds like you have some binding in your steering linkage. I had my t-maxx doing that really bad and realized i had the pillow ball nuts to tight and they were binding. This is with a 145oz servo. Not sure what yours is rated at, but if it can make it to it's home position freely enough, you get the hum from the servo.
