Thumbs up steering issues

Disconnect servo horn and give the steering a push and see where it binds??

Maybe the hub bolts are too tight?? Bent hinge pin??
Thanks to all for the feedback and Mark you got it spot on mate, changed back rod ends to original rc18 ones and the whole thing is 100 percent better. The rodends are way to stiff out the box, it seems by adding the hex adjuster hole they have buggered the free play up just where its needed. The steering link rod ends have been as stiff as a north sea wind for ages and I tried taking some material out....but away with the evil stock ones and back to oldschool for a much nicer steering throw

Sorted
