Methods for steering a truck of wheels, particularly for a heavy vehicle, such as but not limited to aircraft, and mechanisms for carrying out the methods are disclosed comprising two fore-and-aft steerable axles on a truck beam and a truck beam actuator, the steerable axles being pivotally mounted on canted and eccentric ends on the truck beam and responsive to the truck beam actuator or rotation of the truck beam for being rotatable in a horizontal plane so that scrubbing of the tires is prevented and turning forces to steer the landing gear truck are substantially reduced.
