Default Servo on steering help needed

My friend has now tried 3 servos on his b4.1FT and the same problem persists, when driving around and doing the jumps on a track or going over rough terrain the steering knocks its self out of line, and he has to adjust it via the transmitter to centre it...any body have any ideas? As 3 servos can't be wrong

Servo horn stripped / jumping? tie rod on servo stripped? servo saver nut too slack? could even be a problem in the transmitter on the steering pot, but i would try the easy things first.....

Sounds like a stripped servo horn to me, buy a new one and give it a try.

Hold the link connected to the servo and try to turn the wheels with your hands whilst watching the servo saver, if it doesn't take much effort for the saver to operate then it may be loose.
