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 d=
o with the result (kickback) of the steering wheel. As Perter mentioned veh=
icles that are used =E2=80=9Coff road=E2=80=9D or on rough roads will exper=
ience the sore fingers that happen when the right front tire bangs that 2 f=
oot boulder on the road shoulder and the steering wheel suddenly breaks you=
r death grip you have on it.=20
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!

You'd need a pump and couple hydraulic hoses, no?
