Narrative:
When the captain pushed the power up and asked me to set power [I] began to adjust the power. During the final power adjustment the captain called for an abort due to inability to control the aircraft. He had full left rudder and that wasn't enough to keep the airplane centered. We rejected the takeoff; I notified ATC; the captain called for the rejected takeoff [checklist] upon clearing the runway; and then he made a PA as directed by the QRH. We contacted dispatch and agreed we needed to return to the gate for maintenance. While watching a maintenance test done by the mechanics we found that the tiller did not center itself when released from the right. With the tiller released it would hold about 10 degrees right deflection.
