  1. Bashing
my steering doesn't center and holds partway on BOTH sides that way its not the trim
 
Did you remove the horn and try it? If not it could be a steering linkage bind. If you did remove it and are still having the issue then it's time for a new servo.
 
not a new servo ill try the horn and stuff tomorow i got a new servo since traxxas` stock ones mounts broke from the resistance

hey is ur name cody
 
its not the horn i just relubed and redid it
 
do you have bearings in your steering linkage ? if not I would replace the stock bushings with some it makes a big difference, also if your pillow ball set screws are to tight that will cause every thing to bind and not allow things to return to center, just a couple of suggestions.
 
found out the prob the integy yeah i have sh!t on my car the diff input is hiting the steering
could you mount the drag link below the bellcrank towers cause thats my problem

Sounds like something is severly bent there. Thats why I suggested removing the horn-- to remove the linkage from the servo gear to see if it traveled freely without anything connected. To answer your question you could do what you asked if you are good at fabricating things but you lower your clearance too. I would figure out which part is bent and replace it. Cure the problem instead of the symptoms...
 
yeah it worked on the bottom but since i was lazy it striped
 
i fixed it i just had to back out the pillow caps a 1/3 of a turn
