Really one needs to consider the definition of "work". Do they actually correct a problem or do they mask the problem? Fact is, they mask the problem or make you less sensitive to the fault. But if it has leaf springs and no trac bar or panhard bar, the axle will move side to side. Steering damping may slow your steering wheel movement so you do not over correct, but it does not give you positive control over your steering. Of course it helps, bandaids help or no one could sell them. But it is not actually "fixing" anything. Its just covering up the problem.


Steering dampers should be the last choice when trying to correct handling problems. I'm not saying they should never be used, but only to be used when everything else has been corrected and you still want more.

If you raise the front of a motor home up in the air with a Steer Safe, the wheels will automatically point straight ahead. That is the basic principle of Steer Safe, and any of the other steering stabilizers. Steer Safe uses springs to put tension on the front axle to resist anything that is trying to make the front wheels turn right or left, either from wind or a tire blowout. Other steering stabilizers do the same thing with a hydraulic cylinder. It's not anything new and many vehicles(cars and trucks) come from the factory with steering stabilizers. Steer Safe is just a little cheaper than the others.
