I have a 1966 Cherokee 180C and have a problem where the rudder and the nose wheel are not lined up with each other. When the nose wheel is lined up, the rudder is turned nose right. When the rudder is trimmed correctly while in the air, on touch down, the nose wheel is pulling to the left to the point I have to compensate before it touches the pavement. I usually just leave nose wheel trimmed correctly and come in on final crabbing nose right and then straighten it up before the nose wheel touches. This is with no wind. When it's windy if I have a right to left crosswind, it's a piece of cake but if it's left to right it's hard to compensate. Can this be adjusted. Cables seem to be tight. Thanks
