The biggest thing is to get the servo horn exactly centered in the chassis, I do this with my calipers measuring from the outside of the chassis plate, and a few thousandths in either direction is a few thousandths too much. When the car starts turning harder in one direction than the other, its usually because the servo is out of center. Once its centered and locked down, I just make sure the links are the same length with the calipers and it always turns even.
