A power steering system for a vehicle of the type having an axle (12) which supports a pair of steerable wheels (24) at opposite ends of the axle, the steerable wheels being interconnected by a steering linkage which includes steering arms and a tie rod interconnecting the steering arms. The steering system includes a double rodded steering cylinder assembly (30) having a pair of rods (52, 54) extending outwardly of a cylinder (48), one end of one rod (52) being secured to the tie rod by suitable structure (56, 58). The cylinder is in turn secured to the axle by mounting means (60) including a spherical bushing assembly to provide for universal movement of the cylinder assembly. The mounting means includes a mounting member (62) secured to the axle, a cylinder extension (66) which passes through the mounting member, and a spherical bearing which interconnects the cylinder extension (66) with the mounting member (62).
