Does it move when you plug in a newly charged battery? Is it 6V? Some servos will jitter on a newly charged battery and than stop when the voltage drops. Is this what you are seeing?

I'm assuming only when it's on the ground it twitches. If you touch the control surface does it stop? If so then your ok. When the servo sits there it sometimes tries to find center and will twitch. Sometimes the deadband can do funny things also. Hope this helps you.

jitter is ok as long as it holds center and moves to a point then holds that point

I had one that quivered too. If you have it connected with an extension, disconnect and clean both connectors. If its connected directly into the receiver, take that connector and clean it, I just use the capillary that comes with WD40 to force some through the connector, thel let it dry completely before use

By the way, if using an extension, best to cut and solder the wires directly
