The student pilot stated as he began his takeoff roll the airplane veered to the left. He applied right rudder and the airplane continued to the left. Full right rudder was applied and the airplane jerked to the left. He pulled the power off, applied right brake, and the airplane went off the left side of the runway and nosed over. Examination of the airplane by the FAA revealed the rod end bolt from the right nose steering linkage had failed in bending overstress.
