THE PLT STATED THAT DURING A WHEEL LANDING, THE ACFT BOUNCED, BUT NOT HARD. HE REPORTED THAT HE APPLIED SUFFICIENT POWER TO RECOVER & MADE A SMOOTH, 3-POINT TOUCHDOWN, THEN THE ACFT BEGAN A GRADUAL SKIDDING TURN TO THE RIGHT. THE PLT CORRECTED WITH LEFT RUDDER, BUT IT HAD NO EFFECT. HE SAID THAT HE THEN APPLIED HARD LEFT RUDDER & BRAKE; HOWEVER, THE ACFT CONTINUED THE RIGHT SWERVE & THE LEFT MAIN GEAR COLLAPSED. AN EXAM OF THE ACFT REVEALED THE LEFT TAILWHEEL STEERING CABLE HAD COME OFF OF A PULLEY & HAD JAMMED BETWEEN THE PULLEY & A BRACKET. THERE WAS EVIDENCE THAT THE CABLE MAY HAVE BEEN LOOSE OR OUT-OF-RIG. HOWEVER, THE REASON FOR THE CABLE TO COME OFF OF THE PULLEY WAS NOT VERIFIED.
