Expert Reply:
A vehicle should not be towed backward on a tow dolly because if the steering wheel is left unlocked, the car would fishtail all over the place. If the steering wheel was locked, the steering linkage would break at the first sharp turn or the first bump you hit which would also cause the vehicle to fishtail.
Your best bet would be to tow the vehicle from the front and disconnect/remove the driveshaft. The only way around that would be to place the vehicle on a trailer.
