Well, what model and do you know what servo it is? Is the vehicle stock?

Howdy Aaron, welcome to the forum. What kind of rig is it? Stock servos are notoriously bad, but before you trash it check your steering linkage to rule out a mechanical obstruction. Did you set the endpoints prior to running the truck? If not, that can eat the RTR servos pretty quickly. It would be to your benefit to provide a little more information when asking a question. You’ll get better responses and solutions if we know what’s going on.

+1 Agree with Dan
Need a bit more details,so we can better help diagnose the problem(s)

Welcome to the forum. Almost certain that you will not need a new servo but need some pictures or a better description.
What happened prior?
Picture of the front with all steering visible.
What model?

A video might help better also.

Well, ok then…. Maybe the servo wasn’t waterproof? You still have water sloshing around in the bottom of the chassis. How long was it under water? You should really clean it and blow it dry. That much water will really wreak havoc on everything from bearings to electronics.

I bought it as a project car every thing works on it but the steering don't straight up from the turn it does turn its just annoying trying to go fast in it

These are not Water proof or even water resistant. Nothing about RC's are. Water can affect the ESC, motors, The Reciever, and absolutely any Servo. I don't care what they say, WP or WR. Been there. Not to say many don't run in the wet. Just need to be prepared for all types of water/moisture caused issues. Including your servo.
Take out the servo and see if it works properly while not connected to anything.

OK thanks for the advice I'll try putting it in my infraction and see if it works right

Like I said, first try operating the servo unconnected to anything. Make sure the Servo travel is proper/equal both Left and RIght.

OK I'll try that first really appreciate the help

Good luck.
Let us know how it works out.

Have you tried putting it in a bag of rice?
