If I have to back up very far, (done it twice) I tie off the steering wheel to center, no problem what so ever.
I'll tell you right now, w/ the steering wheel tied off, if my tow bar and base plates won't w/stand the side forces of even dragging my Jeep around a corner, forward or backward, I'll junk pile it all and quit towing !!
Like some one said, if it will tear up the towbar, prove it.
Funny, there was a post recently where someone forgot to unlock their steering column and they drug their toad around for awhile until they
realized what happened. No damage to the tow bar. Suggest you MAY want to go in reverse and the chicken littles appear with their
warnings of doom and destruction. Amusing.
I need to do some repair on my steering column and will not replace the locking mechanism so I can avoid pulling the fuse and having to
leave a key in the ignition. I am sure there is some hidden danger in that...:B
