If you look at the car from the front when I steer to to left the steering seems to get caught on the gearbox??? but is fine steering the other way have check all link arm lenghts and have tried the different spacers on the servo am using a savox 1251mg. I have only just built the car so any ideas welcome

make sure your steering rack ( the bit the ball joints fasten to on the steering posts) is the right way up, the outer part is deeper and the flat side should be to the top and the lumps to the bottom
