Oh, I trust YOU that you have towed with an Acme dolly for over 10,000 miles.
I do NOT trust ACME when they say this:
"If your car uses a locking steering column, we recommend that you leave you keys in the accessory position to allow your wheels to turn freely."
That is a direct copy and paste from THEIR "Owners Manual" on their website.
They also say:
" IF YOU ARE TOWING A CAR WITH A LOCKING STEERING COLUMN LEAVE THE KEY SET TO ACCESSORY AND THE CAR WILL TOW AND TURN JUST FINE. "
The all caps are theirs, not mine.
So, when the car is on the dolly, and the straps are tightened so the wheels can not move, the car steering will help the dolly turn?
Sorry, no, I do not believe it. As I stated, I have watched the video of the dolly, with a car aboard, turning, and I don't see the car wheels moving at all.
What damage will occur if you tow on an ACME dolly with the steering locked? How can it damage anything when the front wheels are tied down tightly?
For those who do not know what is being discussed here, look at this:

See how those car wheels are tied down? They simply can not help steer that dolly!
