Unlikely to notice much, hydraulic powered steering rams and if already lined up only small rudder bar steering inputs.
1970's, LHR runway inspection found a nose wheel and part axle, worked out it was an L1011 of our fleet; advised aircraft and a full emergency declared at home base; Capt Jock made a perfect landing and roll out, after inspection, de-planing, we towed aircraft to maintenance; axle had a fracture and sheared.
