The pilot reported that after touchdown, the airplane suddenly veered off the left side of the runway. During the runway excursion, the airplane struck the precision approach path indicator light system, resulting in substantial damage to both wings. Postaccident examination of the airplane revealed that a rod end bearing on the nosewheel steering pushrod failed. As a result, the pilot was unable to operate the nosewheel steering.
Probable Cause: The failure of the nosewheel steering pushrod, which resulted in a loss of airplane directional control and runway excursion.
