Default Good enough servo for 1/8 Truggy?

I came across a Savox SW-1211SG servo for cheap and I wanted to use in my 1/8 scale truggy for the steering servo but wanted to get opinions on it. I will be running my ESC servo voltage @ 7.4v thanks to my Tekin Hotwire 3.0 as well. Heres the specs on the servo:
SAVOX SW-1211SG
Specifications:
Torque @ 6v: 15.0kg/208.3oz-in
Torque @ 7.4v: 15.0kg/347.2oz-in
Speed @ 6v: 0.10 sec/60 deg
Speed @ 7.4v: 0.08 sec/60 deg
Dimensions L x W x H (mm): 40.6 x 20.7 x 42.0
Weight: 71.0g

I’d be concerned about the plastic ears.

The top plastic piece where the servo is mounted? I have rubber protectors and brass screw sleeve things inside of them. Will that help?

I always use rubber blocks on composite case servos. But not the brass insert. I'm surprised your mounting bolts fit through them. Cool.

With metal cased, I use protech bushings and screws.

I used that exact servo in my old Tekno, and had no issues at all. Good value for the performance.
