Sorry to state the obvious, but did you:
1. Check that the steering moved freely before reconnecting to the servo?
2. Replace the washer under the servo saver - big thick one?
3. Set the end-points so that the servo's not trying to steer more than is permitted?
4. Was it centred properly before starting off?
5. Is it one servo, or is it a twin servo set-up - 2 servos might be 'fighting' each other?
