    keeps you going straight,,,,,,,any kind of wind pushes you around,,,,,roads are not flat so the van without power steering likes to wander,,,,,,,,my van with wide 15" tires really grabs the pavement,,,,,,and that damper adds resistance to turning the steering wheel and adds even more if you try and turn the wheel fast,,,,,,,,parking my van is real work,,,,,,,
