I have E4JS too and it never gave me centering issue. Did you check steering tie rod (toe angle)? make sure both rods are the same length. Also check if you have any broken parts and assembly is symmetric. The unbalanced (worn unevenly) tires may also cause this problem

I then thought it may be the servo but it is a KO low profile PDS-2413 which I doubt would have a centering problem. So it boils down to the servo saver. I tightened it as much as I can and it still gives me problems with inprecise centering and steering.

Would the K Factory aluminum single arm steering kit fix this problem? Is it possible to put a tighter more precise spring in the servo saver? Can I just eleminate the servo saver spring and have it as direct steering?
