I use the simple solution of a section of tyre held in the shackles. It holds the axle central but allows the spring to change in length.
My 1929 fabric saloon steers straight and is happy with just a finger and thumb on the wheel at 50mph over the uneven Scottish Borders roads.
When I had a Nippy I attached one shock absorber arm directly to the axle having welded tube in at the axle end.
Works well on lowered axles were the arm meets the axle correctly with no link. Maybe a bit stressed with a straight axle I suspect.
