[Healeys] Odd steering attachment

[David Leong]

Kickback can also be caused by excessive bump steer, which can also be bad

Racers know not to wrap their thumbs around the wheel, and let go just before impact

Steering kickback is mainly due to one or both of the front tires impacting with an obstacle. Type of suspension and/or steering design has a lot to do with the result (kickback) of the steering wheel. As Perter mentioned vehicles that are used “off road” or on rough roads will experience the sore fingers that happen when the right front tire bangs that 2 foot boulder on the road shoulder and the steering wheel suddenly breaks your death grip you have on it.
Assuming that the device is a steering damper we could surmise that the BJ8 of this thread may have had a hard life.  Hard but perhaps fun!
