Servo for sure.

If the picture is oriented, top is equivalent to the front of the car, you are going to get some funky steering geometry from the setup you have. I suggest keeping both links equal length, and have the same geometry left to right. Moving the steering links to the other side of the axle would be good to, as well as adding a little bit of Ackerman.
