ABSTRACT:
An automatic self-steering trailer axle wherein the wheel spindles are pivotally mounted upon the steering knuckle plate and may be pivoted in front of or behind the kingpin by means of a ratchet wheel which is engaged or disengaged by changing the direction of movement of the axle. The invention also includes a control linkage assembly which may be connected to the trailer axle and also connected to the trailer hitch or towing vehicle steering so that a change in direction of the towing vehicle while it is being operated in a rearward direction is transmitted directly to the control linkage.
