Default Steering Problem

Hi,

ive been experiencin this problem ever since i washed my savage with my jet wash, not sure if thats the cause, maby its mud i dont know, anyhow

when i turn my wheels i get about 1cm of moving in only 1 direction. and none in the other, and when i remove the arm from the servo it turns perfectly.

can you freely move the steering assembly with the servo disconnected?
