slim it sounds to me like you have the old style servo saver (kimbourgh design) easiest way to fix this is to remove it and use a solid servo horn with the new savage x style servo saver. then the saver is ajustable like the guys posted before me are saying,

Another thing to check is your pivot screws at the knuckles where they attach the knuckles to the c-hubs. If you have these tightened dopwn too much, they will make your steering bind.

Good way I found to troubleshoot this sort of thing is disconnect your steering rods from the hubs and work your setup independantly by going the steering component by component. You can usually find the issue pretty quickly that way 🙂

And welcome to our addiction - soon to be yours 🙂
