"The rear most axle of both the 777 MLG bogeys steer when nose gear steering angle steered exceeds 13 degrees to prevent tyre scrubbing."
Just like what S777 said except that the MLG bogey steering primary purpose is to reduce turning radius,especially in the much longer -300ER's.More importantly is the fact that the rearmost axels of both MLG bogeys turn in the OPPOSITE direction to that of the nose wheel.This,once again is to compensate and enable a smaller turning radius...
Happy taxying....
