Rick,

The self centering "V" does not cover the full range of motion of the wheel.  If you exceed a certain angle and let the strut back extended, the key falls on a ledge not forcing the wheel to center.  You can play with the angle of wheel and find where the "V" starts.

Give me a call at work, if you want a better explanation.
