Somewhere, I have a technical brief on my RWD 300ZX. The towing
instructions, if remembered correctly, were to tow the vehicle backwards
(lifting the rear end), with the key in the ignition to release the
steering lock, and tying the steering wheel to prevent turning.
I seem to remember this being accomplished once by taking a rope, tying it
to the steering wheel, and closing the other end in the door. I was
uncomfortable with this arrangement at the time, but the driver assured me
it was OK. We made it about 20 miles without incident.

Ahhh....
I am sitting here considering the toe-in
and castor angles working the "other way
'round" and how "strong" an effect this
would be having absolutely no clue....
now I've got a better idea from someone
who's "BTDT".
So, David, these forces are strong enough
that there really is no way to tie the steering wheel down...I mean
within
reason...with belts, straps, bungee cords,
whatever?
