Question:
Should the steering wheel be secured with a dolly that doesnt steer?

Expert Reply:
When towing a vehicle on a dolly like the part # RM-2050-1 that you referenced you need the steering wheel to be locked so that around corners the dolly fenders don't hit the door or fender of the vehicle. If your steering wheel doesn't lock when the key is off you can use your seat belt to lock it.
Wrap the seat belt a couple times around the steering wheel and then buckle it in place. Now pull the seat belt all the way out so that as you let it retract it locks. Now your wheel will be locked. This is true for dollies that steer and dollies that do not have a steering axle.
