Tim:
Have you considered that the linear vector force of the tow vehicle on the hitch while in forward motion increases the amount of force necessary to obtain lateral movement of the linkage?
This force may essentially "lock up" the linkage from lateral forces unless they exceed the forces that are incurred by the forward motion of the tow vehicle.
Which would be a LOT of force.
I'm not an engineer, and I don't play one on TV.
Just thought I'd throw that out for you and Ron to dissect....
