There are several ways to do it. One absolute is the linking of the spindles so they follow Ackerman principles. A tierod between the sides and attached to steering arms as shown in the diagram, is a good solution. If the 504 has 2 push pull drag links from a gear box, one on each side, that geometry (and the gears in the box that control the links, as well as the geometry of the arms on the box,) are responsible for the Ackerman effect. Thus if your front end has that Utility style linkage, either the gears are needed, or new fabricated steering arms on the spindles are needed with a link between them as shown in the diagram. Two different approaches are used to power the steering one type uses 2 identical single acting cylinders, each pushing in opposite directions. Sometimes they are placed on the drag links on opposite sides, sometimes attached to the center of the cross rod and anchored to the axle. Some use a single double acting cylinder that pushes and pulls on one link. Either way a bracket, or two, must be welded (with professional absolutely fail proof strength) so the cylinder/s are positioned to allow full steering movement "lock-to-Lock" Jim
