Your servo might be stripped. Disengage the linkage and see whether it's turning left and right

Also, check your steeing gear. If you have a cam-type servo saver, make sure the screw-ring is still on. If it isnt, reinstall it and tighten it down pretty good.

But I agree with Pinky; this is most likely a stripped servo gear or hopefully, only a stripped servo horn.

Also make sure the servo is working. If you didn't strip the gears, you may have burnt it up.

These guys pretty much covered it, but in case you haven't fixed it yet, see the post titled "Servo problems" and you'll see that my steering servo quit on me.
