Does it EVER go close to straight?

Hmm, well I took my xmod out today, even though it was 26 degrees out O.o, and discovered that it didnt run straight, I had run it before, but only indoors and on carpet, so it didnt achieve enough speed for me to really tell. But when I would get to about 1/2 speed on concrete it would be pulling pretty hard to the right, and my right wheel wobbles like crazy even if I hold the axle carrier and left tire. I have the servo centered and the wheel on tight, and am still not sure whats wrong. I considered that the axle that came with my AWD kit was made wrong, but dont want to go out and blow another 15 bucks on the kit, and cant take it back because half of my grease is gone and stuff. If i have to I might pick up another AWD kit and lock up my old BB diff for carpet running, but dont want to unless its the only possible solution. What should I try doing in this situation?

Yeah, seems that way, next time i get something like this, ill test it before I get it all worn in and stuff lol. Well, im in the middle of putting my front end back together at the moment, its running straight now, well only slightly to the left. I just put a new tierod in, and put the axle i thought was bent on the left, and not on the right. Maybe I should invest in a GPM front end, would be kinda nice to have aluminum, and free up all of that slack in the front. It also seems that one of the axles has bad threading. The plastic nut never gets to fully tightened. Maybe some aluminum ones will solve that problem. Anyways, a word of advice, examine your axles that come with the AWD kit when you first buy them, before you install.
