Dolly Towing 2014 Versa Note

Question for anyone in the know. I have a 2014 Nissan Versa Note that I tow with an Acme dolly. The front wheel bearings had to be replaced with only about 3300 miles of towing. There was a lot of lateral movement I noticed when I had a flat on the left front. Checked the right and It was almost the same. Dealer agreed bearings are bad and replaced them. I tried to never make sharp turns with it on the dolly. Now the question. Does anyone know if the possible turning to sharp could contribute to the bearing problem?
  • We had the ACME (only got rid of it because we no longer had a car we could tow). Loved it. Put around 2000 miles on it towing a Toyota Yaris and then a Ford Focus. issues at all. And yes you have to keep the steering wheel unlocked.

    Also, I think if any damage of turning too sharp were to happen, it would be to the side of the car. You probably turned no sharper than what you would turn the car if just driving it.
