Ron, it seems to me that if the struts were missaligned by 5 degrees or so then the TT would track straight, but off center along the arc defined by the 5 degree misalignment. In other words, the head would translate enough right or left to account for the misalighnment in order to balance out the forces on the four bar linkage.
Andy,
I agree almost completely. If the rear unit has moved off center, the asymmetry of the linkage will result in a small restoring force which will tend to reduce the yaw angle. That's why I suggested the TT would track at close to zero but not exactly zero angle. That means the rear unit would remain rotated to nearly 5 degrees.
