Default Is my Servo broken? Help!

My Freedon Flyer's servo to the rudder is "shaky" or "wiggles" while I am not moving it on the transmitter. It also will not move when I turn the stick, it just shakes or wiggles. It does respond some or partially, but not always. I tightened the screw and removed the servo, but nothing has helped. I have done everything that I have always do when I am about to fly, so nothing is out of the ordinary. Is the battery getting low? Is it broken or malfunctioning? Thanks for your help!

My friend had that same thing happen to him so we checked the battery and it was fully charged then the connection(disconnected and reconnected) that didn't do it so we looked at it more carefully. It wasn't seated properly so it was pushing against the foam wing of his plane causing it to gitter. Hope that helps.

Thanks for the help, but I found out what it was. I opened the servo and found that one of the little wires inside had pulled away from its post, so I reconnected it, screwed the servo back together and now it works fine. Saving me about $20.
