If your servo is acting weird then replace it. Otherwise you have a tuning problem.

Could be that your servo needs recentreing,take off the saver,turn on your tx,set your trims to centre,put the saver back on centre and see if that helps.
Or like sheo says could be a duff servo and needs replacing etc

Yeah, try re-centering before you replace it. Also, The camber links have nothing to do with steering. What you may need to adjust are the steering turnbuckles.

Take the servo out see if it runs like that.

Sounds like a servo problem to me. Could be the servo saver. Go for the servo first, cos a good servo is something everyone should buy sooner rather than later. If that doesn't fix the problem, the servo saver's only another $10, and now you've got a great servo too!

I'd check for binding in the steering first....though it does sound like a couple teeth are broken on the servo gears....
