X3 on steering geometry. My Westendorf 12 ton gears don't trail as well as the Killbros gears. However, the Westendorf gears are more nimble in tight places because the Westendorf steering geometry is faster. When I am backing a Killbros gear it seemingly takes forever for the wagon to react when I turn the tongue, but the Killbros will trail right down the road nice and straight. Killbros does have ball joint tie rods which helps a lot.
The steering parts in wagon gears are usually abused at sometime or other. Backing a wagon and cranking the tongue around when the wagon is sunk down in soft ground is bound to bend and stretch things a bit and that is all it takes to make it trail funny. How many of us have been in a soft field where we were unable to start a wagon rolling with the tractor so we back up a bit to try to get a run for it. When we back up the tractor spins it's wheels and goes a little sideways. There goes the alignment in the Wagon! I'm just as guilty as everyone else.
