What vehicle script are you using? The vehicle scripts are not the same between orange box and hl2. You can use the hl2 buggy model, but if you're developing a mod for the orange box engine you should start with the vehicle script from ep2, not the one from hl2. The steering parameters and code are different in the orange box. Also, be sure to set ent_bbox on the vehicle and vcollide_wireframe 1 so you can see the underlying physics visualized. That will help you see the difference between animation problems and physics problems.
