Steering issues with my Jato 3.3

[Big Bear Tony]

Hello,

I posted earlier about the steering issues on my Jato 3.3. It turns great to the left, but doesn't have near as tight a turning radious when turning right. I have changed out some parts and checked everything that you all have suggested. Today I was lookingat it and I noticed that when you turn the control to the right, there is a lot of play in the linkage that connects tothe servo arm. Is there a way to eliminate the excess play. If I can get rid of the play, this should correct the problem.

Any ideas?

Can you tell where the play is? What parts are moving before the wheels move?

I know my jato steering was really sloppy when I got it. It was a used rig. The two posts that are made of aluminum that are built into the servo saver wore really bad due to having teflon bushings instead of bearings. I replaced the posts with new ones, the teflon bushings with bearings and the steering system is much less sloppy. Hopefully with the bearings, the posts are less likely to wear now since the bearing does the pivoting.

The play is between the servo and servo saver. When you turn left, there is no play and you get a good turning radious. But when you turn right, there is a lot of travel in bar that attcahes to the servo horn
