The steering arm push rod linking the brass servo arm to the tie rod is made up from a sewing pin (flame heat first makes neater right angle bends and you could glue some jewelry beads on it for lock collars to stop it undoing off the tie rod or from binding up.

Next, take a small length of a paperclip (or similar), bend into a horseshoe shape, and connect the two main steering wheels together. Here is what I have built so far and how I made them work at scale speed and turn really sharp and have smooth accurate scale control . It is both slow and medium speed (scale about 30mph) and powerful but bigger for trucks or buses - my old blue Chevy pick up has it but I trimmed down the servo cases at their join positions and then I had to make a hole for the bottom of the motor to reduce the servo height from 25 to 23mm to fit it inside the 25 mm wide chassis box aluminum but it also has skinny 2.leave a long tail on one end of the + cross so it's easier to handle when wrapping the floss/thread around and or assembly etc.
