Default Axle mounted servo flex

I have noticed when I cycle my servo, the mounting posts on the axle housing flex a bit. This is happening before I hit the stops. End points are adjusted properly. Anyone else experienced this? It's not causing an issue now, but I can see where it might in the future. Servo it rated for 278oz/in. Note: This is only noticeable when stopped, trying to manipulate the tire's direction. Under a rolling scenario, I doubt it's an issue.

Minor issue. Delrin is very strong stuff made to flex but not break easily. Run it till it breaks, then pick up another axle housing for like $10.

Have you noticed this on your rigs as well?

Is it with the new g6 jeep. I noticed that with the g6 jeep kit they have only the front 2 screws holding the servo to the axle housing instead of 3. If that's the case you could use a different front upper link mounting set up.
I use a front upper 4 link, but mine uses 3 mounting holes for the diff. Mounted servo. On two of my scale trucks the servos are over 400 in oz each. With no problems out of either in over 2.5 years of abuse. I say run it till it breaks then upgrade/modify it.

Yes, G6 kit. It came with some extras, I'll have to look and see if I have provisions for another mounting point. Thanks.
