The pilot reported that during the landing roll the left wing came up. He applied left rudder and aileron; however, 'the aircraft started turning right and did not respond.' He cut the power and applied the brakes. The left wheel came off, and the left strut dug into the runway turning the aircraft left 180 degrees. Examination of the aircraft revealed that the left spring steel landing gear strut and the gear box had separated from the aircraft. The propeller had impacted the runway and the left wing was damaged. The wheel assembly, which is attached to the landing gear strut with 3 bolts, was found 75 yards down the runway. Of these three bolts, one 'had no nut or damage', one 'had stripped threads', and one was 'pulled until it broke.'
Probable Cause: separation of the left main gear wheel as a result of improper maintenance.
