Default Steering adjustment???

Hey all,
I just ran in my Savage SS and am wondering how to adjust for a tighter turning circle. I dont think Im getting full power from the steering servo. It's a Futaba S9405, which the guy in the shop said was fine for a Savage (and cost about $60). The car is pulling left also. I tried the steering trim on the transmitter but that didnt help. If i turn the truck upside down with the radio on the wheels settle to the left when not steering. If i adjust them straight with the trim then Im at full, 100%, trim and can no longer turn the wheels left, only right.
Im wondering if its to do with the way I have the steering attached to the servo. Could the plastic attachment on top of the servo need removing and replacing in a more central position?

Also I have stripped 3 spur gears in the first 2.5 tanks. I read up on how to fit them, with the strip of paper test an all and it helped, I got 1.5 tanks out of the last one before it stripped on one side. What else should I be doing? Can I expect to be replacing these as often as I fill the tank? It was great fun while it lasted, cant wait to get back out there. If you have any further tips or suggestions please help.
Thanks in advance
