Weird problem with nosewheel steering

I have built a MiG-29 (FSDS V.2) but the nosewheel steers in the opposite direction. This only happens when the nosegear is animated. If I just put the nosegear in position without retraction animation the steering is correct.
What on earth can be the problem ?

Try keyframe animating it using "C_Wheel" as the name and 100-200 as the keyframes.

Thanks for the information Locke. I can do what you suggested but I still don't know why this is happening. I have built more than 100 aircraft and have never encountered this problem.

I believe I finally discovered the reason for this problem. My nosegear is too detailed. I stripped some of the parts off and it then worked as it should.
