Default servo torque

I have looked at numerous threads about servos and I hear people reccomending 60 oz/in or even 80 oz/in on the torque for 1/10 electric touring.

Is that much torque really needed for steering?
I had this stock Futaba servo 3003 it rated 44 torque
Right now I am using a older Futaba s132h it is rated at 25 oz/in torque and .13 at 6 volts.

If the reccomendations are correct than my servo is a bit weak.
----------------------------
What about the micro servos some of them are very cheap and have a speed of .09 and torque of 42 (Hitec HS81MG $23.49)?
