Another two pneumatic cylinders, and I think you would've had the steering
like a real grader does. I've seen few other models with that degree of
steering capability, and while it's not the exact same thing it comes pretty
close, given the limitations of Technic elements.

Could you have done the steering without the special suspension elements
LEGO produced for Technic models that use them? I doubt it would be
possible, or it would look extremely blocky and awkward if it was possible.
