My point exactly. The leverage of the linkage prevents a change in geometry.
The linkage does not prevent a change in geometry. The linkage does not prevent the TT from swinging behind the TV. It is only the lateral forces on the TT's tires (and inertial effects) which prevent the TT from swinging. If a gust of wind hits the side of the TT, it will swing to a new yaw angle. When the wind goes away, the TT will swing back. The linkage prevents neither swinging to nor swinging fro. However, the effective lengthening of the TT tongue will have some effect on the period and amplitude of the swing.
