2 things to check:
1. End points - might be turned right down - should be able to adjust them from the Tx.
2. With power off, you can remove the servo horn, then check how free moving the steering is - it might have taken a hit and dislodged / bent something. There may be a seized bearing or more.
REMEMBER:
3. If you increase the end points, do this to the point the servo JUST strains, then turn it back to the 'first point of silence' shall be call it.
4. If you remove the servo horn, after checking steering movement, switch on the Tx / Rx, ZERO the radio set, then replace the horn the most centrally possible - it is probable it won't be exact. This will be done with the Tx, to centre it.
5. IF you adjusted as in 4. above, then re-set the end points - easily done.

All excellent suggestions.
Three top upgrades for improved steering for the Baja (especially steering under power):
