Well, after spending the afternoon staring at it I have come up with a theory . . .... . ... . .
If you are looking at the tire of the towed car, the EZE-TOW instructions call for placing the basket straps at the 10 o'clock and 2 o'clock positions. It appears that as the car tries to move away from the front basket strap ( 2 o'clock position) it allows that strap to move as the strain comes off and that introduces play into the strap system which allows the tire to move even more etc etc etc.
So I am thinking that if the basket straps were moved to the 9 o'clock and 12 o'clock position it would supply more support to the tire to resist rearward movement and the 12 o'clock strap would not be able to move and introduce more slack into the system.
Is this making any sense to anyone? :?
