Narrative:
When I landed the airplane and it touched down; the airplane immediately and abruptly veered to the left. I could not keep it on the runway. It veered off the runway onto the slippery snow. The snow was very wet underneath and was like a skating rink. I could not stop the airplane. It came to a stop on its own. Mechanics had worked on the rudder system prior to this flight. Upon landing; I had no control of nosewheel steering. Callback conversation with reporter revealed the following information: the reporter stated that maintenance had just been performed on the aircraft. Adjustments were made to attempt to correct a tendency for the aircraft to pull to the left during ground maneuvers. When the landing was accomplished; the runway was dry with no crosswind. The propeller was damaged during the runway excursion; and the engine is undergoing inspection.

Title: C210 PLT WAS UNABLE TO MAINTAIN LONGITUDINAL CONTROL AFTER LNDG AND THE ACFT DEPARTED THE RWY.
Narrative: WHEN I LANDED THE AIRPLANE AND IT TOUCHED DOWN; THE AIRPLANE IMMEDIATELY AND ABRUPTLY VEERED TO THE L. I COULD NOT KEEP IT ON THE RWY. IT VEERED OFF THE RWY ONTO THE SLIPPERY SNOW.

UPON LNDG; I HAD NO CTL OF NOSEWHEEL STEERING. CALLBACK CONVERSATION WITH RPTR REVEALED THE FOLLOWING INFO: THE REPORTER STATED THAT MAINT HAD JUST BEEN PERFORMED ON THE ACFT. ADJUSTMENTS WERE MADE TO ATTEMPT TO CORRECT A TENDENCY FOR THE ACFT TO PULL TO THE LEFT DURING GND MANEUVERS. WHEN THE LNDG WAS ACCOMPLISHED; THE RWY WAS DRY WITH NO CROSSWIND.
