Found a idea to do a steering in a simple way.

2. A short adjustable linkages. 

3. 2 pcs long screw/nut to tighten on steering hub.

4. 2 same length post with servo hight.

5. 1 pcs spring servo horn.

The long adjustable linkages each end tighten to steering hub at out side trade hold. The toe in and out still can adjusted.

Need a lock nut at ball end.

Add jam nut both side 1 pcs or 2 pcs.

The length 12.5 inches also can use smaller because both end can be adjust.

The steering rod no touching 

Change the servo horn to a spring type, it to prevent servo from damaged. (Over turning)

Servo horn ball end i use long type and with a lock nut.

The servo bracket. 

The height should same as servo or can get a short servo.

The short adjustable linkages ball end cup size depend on ball end use better small size.

Each steering end tighten with nylon lock nut.

If can get servo in shorten length is better or longer servo horn

Test up yes it function to left and to right
