Default steering servoWh

I think my steering servo is going bad. When I turn the car on it does the normal quick twitch. Then when I turn the wheels with the Transmitter it starts twitching really bad. If I try to hold it turning in either direction it is like it is struggling to hold it. Could this be my servo going bad? I have all new batteries so I know that isn't the issue. Can I use one of the servos from my tornado or will that be too small? and sorry for the Wh in the topic part. hope that didn't confuse anyone.

mine did the same thing on my volcano and it turned out that the antennae wire wasn't making a good connection to the circuit board. i soldered it and it works fine now.

Yeah....and check the 3 servo cables are soldered securely inside the Servo case. They break or come Loose sometimes....
