Default Problem keeping trim adjusted..

I have just 1 metal gear servo on my truck, and I'm using an aftermarket aluminum servo setup. When I drive in a straight line it will pull one direction, but if I turn in that direction, it like changes something and then it's like the trim needs adjusted for the opposite direction, and vice versa. I just checked and everything is tight, no loose screws or anything. Anyone have any ideas??? []

check your toe angles. I had that problem so everytime I adjusted trim it would pull to the opposite side.

It looks ok to me, would I need more toe in or out?

Well, first, I would try the toe in a little at a time; then if it still does it, go back and go toe out a very little at a time and see if that doesn't help out the situation any......good luck with it man....[8D]

Also make sure there's no slack in your linkages. How tight is your servo saver?

Sorry I should have been more specific with my problem. My toe angles where just not aligned right in the front. Some additional info that I found is the front should be toed out and the rear should be toed in. There is a good booklet online that goes through all the setup options on a car and even why they may help. Sorry I cant think of the site but if you do a search it will probably show up.

Hmmmm, servo saver is pretty snug. All the linkages are good. It's that aluminum Revo in the pictures I posted last night. I'm not sure if you guys can tell from the pictures how it looks or I could take more if you think it would help? Everything just seems good to me, it's confusing. :P I'll take a look to see if I can find that booklet you're talking about. Thanks for your help again guys!
