Leon,
Check the 5" rod from the top of the servo to the lock.  If these
become worn, wobbly or bent they can trigger the servo to do strange
things.  I would guess that the driver's side would have the most
probabilty of wear, but in my case (when I had the same problem) it
was the passenger side servo connector rod that needed some bending
adjustment.
