WHILE LANDING WITH A SLIGHT LEFT X-WIND, THE PLT PURPOSELY TOUCHED DOWN ON THE LEFT MAIN GEAR FIRST. MOMENTARILY AFTER TOUCHING DOWN ON THE OTHER MAIN WHEEL, THE RIGHT GEAR COLLAPSED. AT FIRST, THE PLT THOUGHT THE RIGHT TIRE HAD BLOWN OUT & CORRECTIVE ACTION WAS TAKEN, BUT TO NO AVAIL. RUDDER & BRAKE EFFECTIVENESS DIMINISHED & THE ACFT CAME TO REST ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE RWY. AN EXAM REVEALED THAT THE RIGHT MAIN LANDING GEAR DRAG LINK UPPER BOLT, PN NAS464P4-26, HAD FAILED. THE BOLT & BUSHING WERE RUSTY & HAD SEIZED IN THE DRAG LINK ASSEMBLY. ALSO, SEVERAL OTHER BOLTS & BUSHINGS THROUGHOUT THE LANDING GEAR ASSEMBLY WERE FOUND TO BE RUSTY & HAD SEIZED. AN ANNUAL HAD BEEN ACCOMPLISHED ON 7/26/83. THE TOTAL FLT TIME ON THE ACFT SINCE THE INSPECTION WAS 20.3 HRS.
