## Discrepancy

(CAN) WHILE MOVING AIRCRAFT, THE STUDENT NOTICED THAT THE RUDDER AND NOSE WHEEL DID NOT LINE UP WITH EACH OTHER.  MAINTENANCE FOUND THAT THE LT STEERING SPRING WAS BROKEN.  WHEN THE RT STEERING SPRING WAS PREVIOUSLY REPLACED, THE STEERING SPRINGS WERE NOT TIGHTENED EVENLY PUTTING STRESS ON THE LT SPRING.
