Check the gears inside your servo, you could of rounded off one of the gears if you hit a curb. If you had a plastic gear servo, it doesnt take a whole lot to round those puppies off. I rounded my stock servos center gear completely and all i did was hit my leg at 1/4 throttle. :duh: And with metal gear servos, the gears usually don't strip, but you can round off the plastic stop inside the case for the main gear.

That center gear seems to take the brute of the force when the wheels go the way it doesnt want it to go. It usually strips the center gears on the shaft.

Also check to see if you got clear travel with your steering bulkhead (the arm that connects to your servo that runs to the servo saver) and that you don't have a loose screw. Also be good to check the servo saver also, if its just a bit loose it could bind up your steering.
