Hello
=20
In the steering of real Healeys, (those built at Warwick) all the =
steering arms are connected to a triangular plate directly under the =
radiator that cushions any kickbacks from road undulations, bumps etc. =
It works really well in that regard.
=20
The production cost of the front suspension of real Healeys must have =
been prohibitive in comparison to the Austin parts-bin suspension fitted =
to Austin-Healeys. Geoff Healey in one of his books did say that the =
Austin designed suspension did work better than the Healey design.

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 =E2=80=9Coff road=E2=80=9D 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.=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!
