Imagine the hypothetical extreme situation where the steering pivot is angled so far back at the top that it’s at 45°.   Now steer right, by pulling the right hand end of the axle towards you and left hand end away.   The right hand end will push into the ground lifting that side, and the left will drop as the wheel is pushed away from the ground.

It’s a different mechanism for normal steering.
