Try this; take the servo arm off, exposing the servos spline. Now, with your receiver on and radio, center the steering trim on the radio. Now leave it; then install the servo arm back making sure the wheels are tracked straight.

After that, see if you still have the problem.

You center the servo.. The arm is the servo horn. The spline still spins. You just center the servo itself first, then center the wheels, THEN install the arm/horn back on. This way you both center your servo and your steering.

Something like that happened to me once. I finally figured out that one of the switches on the tx was in the wrong position. I dont know if that will fix it for you but its worth looking into.

I wasnt talking about wires but a switch on the remote. When it happened to me it would turn really wide one way but hardly the other way. I hadn't touched anything on the truck and all of a sudden this started happening, turns out the switch was moved while it was in my backpack.
