They are impossible to tow without a steering box unless you chain the tie rod. When I tow one with a steering box, I tie a rope to the door post so the steering wheel can turn less than a third of a turn. I have towed them without a steering box by putting a clamp on the tie rod in the middle and then running a chain to each spring shackle when the wheels are straight ahead. I leave just a little slack in the chain. You don't need much slack to turn a city block. Even if you drag the tires a little on a turn, that is better then having the thing loose. Its good you didn't go down the road with it. I have seen them go from lock to lock and pull the towing vehicle off the road
