What was found
(CAN)THE PILOT NOTICED THAT THE PEDALS FELT LIKE SOMETHING HOOKED THEM DURING RETRACTION OF THE GEAR. ON EXAMINATION AFTER LANDING, IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE STEERING CABLE HAD BEEN BENT AT THE TURNBUCKLE .THE SHIMMY DAMPER HAD ROTATED 90 DEGREES FROM IT'S POSITION AND STRUCK THE CABLE WHEN THE GEAR HAD RETRACTED. IT IS SUSPECTED THAT THIS DISPLACEMENT OF THE SHIMMY BRACKET WAS CAUSED BY AN OVERSTEERING CONDITION. THE SUBMITTER SUGGESTS THAT BY PAINTING A WITNESS MARK ON THE STRUT AND BRACKET, EARLY DETECTION OF AN OVERSTEERING CONDITION WILL BE VERY NOTICEABLE.
