THE PLT REPORTED THAT HE LANDED ON RWY 29R WITH A WIND FROM 220 DEG AT 8 KTS. HE STATED THAT THE TOUCHDOWN WAS SMOOTH, BUT AFTER THE NOSEWHEEL WAS LOWERED, THE ACFT VEERED TO THE LEFT. HE APPLIED RIGHT RUDDER & AILERON, BUT REPORTEDLY, THE PLANE DID NOT RESPOND. SUBSEQUENTLY, IT WENT OFF THE LEFT SIDE OF THE RWY. THE GEAR DUG INTO WET SOIL & THE ACFT NOSED OVER. AN EXAM OF THE ACFT REVEALED THE LEFT PUSH TUBE, BETWEEN THE RUDDER & NOSEWHEEL STEERING SYSTEMS HAD FAILED. HOWEVER, NO EVIDENCE WAS FOUND THAT THE DISCREPANCY OR A MALFUNCTION OCCURRED BEFORE LANDING. THERE WERE INDICATIONS THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED AFTER THE NOSEWHEEL HAD BEEN FORCED TO THE LEFT, BEYOND ITS NORMAL TRAVEL LIMITS. ACCORDING TO TOWER PERSONNEL, THE WIND WAS FROM 230 DEG AT 4 KTS.
