Do you have the steering EPA set so that the servo doesn't try to go beyong the steering system's mechanical limits?

The epa was set to 100 for left and right which i believe is the stock setting, it goes to 120. This setting was used for both servos that i tested.

The actual % doesn't really matter. Start at something low like 50%, activate full steering throw one direction, and increase the EPA for that direction until just before the steering assembly's mechanical limit. Repeat for the other side.

Hmm, that's odd then. IIRC, Castle mentioned something about certain servos drawing more current under normal operation than others. Maybe that brand happens to be one of those. Let's hope Castle chimes in...

BTW: Welcome to the forums!
