The airspeed indicator was showing 60 kts on my LIVP. I was applying full
right rudder but the airplane left the runway making a left turn out of
control. Back to idle, full brake and the line of planes belonging to a
local flying school came nose to noSe with mine.

Rudder cables are fine, no lock brakes, . Can you guys tell me how to
trouble shoot the nose wheel and nose wheel strut. I thInk someone towed my
plane and exceeded the left and right limits. I AM PRETTY SURE MY PROBLEM
HAS TO DO WITH A FREE WILLY NOSE GEAR.

What shoul I do?

[ there is a clamp on older IVs that holds the nose tire to the strut
and keeps it from rotating on the self centering strut shaft.. remove one of the bolts holding the tire U and look 90^o and tighten / locktight
the hex key.. the newer struts and legacys don't have this -Rob ]
