OK Perhaps using rose ball joints for the links , they are threaded so toe can be adjusted by screwing them further on or off , and ball joints so they swivel easily horizontal and vertical perhaps 8mm link rod. Put nut on bar to lock up tight. Suspend steering on single bolt central to allow for vertical left right movement (see-saw) so we don't get the issue of only three wheels in contact with uneven road surface using plate or steel angle under front chassis to spread weight across wooden base.

Have a look at how RC cars do it. It's similar, but they have a left and right linkage rather than a solid link between the two. That way it's also adjustable, as you want to be able to adjust the toe. Toe out is more stable but slightly slower, but should be better and the way to go for this, but it means we're more free to test.

Next: Steering. Rack and pinion? Something else? If it's rack and pinion, do we need to get one made or is this a reclaim job?
