Hi everyone. I noticed some slop in the front steering (edit: on my Kraton 8s) and wanted to get rid of it prior to installing a new steering servo. I tightened up what I’m calling a post that connects to the linkage from the servo saver. I tightened this piece up snugly and ran it once and it’s backing out already. I did not put thread lock on, but think that’s my next move. I just worry about applying heat to that area if I can’t break it loose down the road.
Also, after doing this I cannot trim my steering. When I turn the knob on the handheld controller it’s not proportional to the movement inside the car. The servo makes a bit of a grunt noise and sometimes moves the steering, sometimes not. I’m not sure if this is related to me [over]tightening the post.
Advice appreciated.
