Default Negative toe angle when driving.

Hey guys. It's pretty complicated and I can't upload any pictures, so I'll do my best to explain. I recently built my CC-01, super happy with it. But the front wheels are bugging me. When I start to drive forward, they have a pretty bad negative toe angle, as in the front of the wheel sticks out way too much. The entire steering system is pretty loose and it steers one way more than it does the other, sometimes making my servo hum. I'm wondering if this is normal or have I done something wrong? I should add even reversing makes them stick out, not in. When I press down on the car, the wheels go into negative toe mode, and when I let off, they stay there, but I assume that's because of the play in the wheels. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE this car, but I'm worried I might be hurting the tires unnecessarily like this or something's wrong with my steering system. Sorry for the wall of text.

Something is wrong somewhere. The stock steering is bad, but not THAT bad!

Ah crap. I'll have to take a closer look at it when I can, I'll update when I do.
