But they do. You can flat tow (all 4 wheels down) and the steered
wheels
do track without a problem. Most times you put some kind of bungee cord
on the steering wheel to hold it in the center position, they after a
turn,
the bungee cord helps in returning the steering wheel to the centered
position.
