Narrative:
On landing/nose wheel touch down; AC pulled hard right; when max or near max opposite rudder was applied with little effect and AC still diverging right; nose wheel steering was disengaged. AC was returned to center line with rudder and differential brakes. At very slow speed we cleared the runway onto a high speed; stopped; and were towed to the gate. Fix the known nose wheel steering issues with the fleet.
