Hey everyone, got an issue with the steering, now under any pressure. When i turn left its fine. When I try to turn it right, it barely turns and I hear a clicking noise. Now either I just have bad luck with finding a good servo, or something else is going on, because this is the 2nd servo I've put on with the same issue and the same turning to the right is causing it. Any leads? Anywhere else I should check???
 
Pics might help. How does the steering feel without the servo in place? Try holding the servo horn where it would mount to the servo and rotate it to see if you feel a bind. Do so with the vehicle sitting on the bench as it would be driving. So don't use a chassis stand. Look at all the steering linkage and see if anything might be binding up.

Do you have a servo tester? If not, remove the servo from the rig but leave it connected to the receiver. Put the horn on it and use your finger to put a bit of load on the horn as you rotate it each direction. See if the servo feels strong both directions.

This is a good tool to have.

servo tester is a very good tool.. I use a 2 cell lipo with a ubec to power mine.try a new servo saver with new servo.Id go with a 25kg one from amazon..make sure speed is better than stock. keep sweep the same..
