From the FAA’s Accident/Incident Data System (AIDS), through its Aviation Safety Information Portal, as reported. The NTSB investigates accidents separately, and its record of an accident is the fuller one. The aircraft is matched to the registry by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry’s history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model.

What happened

The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.

Flight from southern pines NC to Greensboro NC as part 91. After touchdown, below 45 knots, aircraft veered left, PIC could not control it with rudder/nose gear steering, left runway into frozen grass.

Note: the part name in the ipc is "upper brace assembly" which includes the upper strut barrel and supporting structure. The one involved was an older magnesium casting; while the new replacement no longer uses that alloy which was more susceptible to corrosion.
