Paul summed it up pretty well. Everything tight and perfectly aligned.
However, just to add a little to the discussion, some brands of gears are more prone to weaving just because of the steering geometry.
My neighbor has two Killbros 375 wagons on Killbros gears. I have two killbros 375's on Westendorf gears. Both are in the same age range. His wagons trail much straighter than mine, and he lets me know about it. He's the kind of guy who likes to go fast.
Then I borrowed his wagons and tried backing them in the shed. It was then that I found his wagons with the Killbros gears to have slower steering response than my Westendorf gears. The Westendorfs are more nimble in tight spots but they are also more nimble at speed, which is not good.
I'm not knocking or promoting any brand. It depends on how you intend to use your wagons. Some are just designed a little different than others and if you happen to have a gear that's not designed to handle speed you never will get it trail straight. Jim

Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
