Towing Auto Backwards On Tow Dolly
Has any one towed a rear wheel drive vehicle on a tow dolly backwards? If so what all do you need to do on the car and how did it work out? Thanks for all comments!

Being towed backward by a tow truck is a whole different set of circumstances. It's generally done only in an emergency situation and rarely exceeds 50 miles.
As mentioned, the steering geometry is built for primarily forward operation. When towing backward for extended distances the least I would expect is more tire wear. If there are linkage problems, or the wheels aren't perfectly straight the wear could be extensive.
Not having the tires perfectly centered could also cause wandering problems.
