Da fuk is this? Return center steering dampener?

Stupid, stupid, stupid. Return-to-center is something that happens naturally with adequate caster angle. Nothing more fancy than a good quality hydraulic shock valved to 50-50 is all that's needed for a steering damper.
This is a steering stabilizer on steroids 
Looks like something Rough Country or Skyjacker would market.

You know me so well. Have we met ?
Joined another forum because of an upcoming purchase and everyone there is either replacing the factory stabilizer or going to duals.
Very few understand that they are masking an underlying issue.
A reason why I like this forum.

Exactly. Chris let's take those two companies over and show them the way out of the land of the wide-eyed, gullible, green, and easy mark wheelers.This is a steering stabilizer on steroids

Without dual steering stabilizers what will all the poor college kids do?
Do they make a dual unit too? My Jeep turns too easily.

Must be a JK/JL. Dealerships are told to replace the steering stabilizer to fix death wobble issues.
No need for that but your steering system would be a lot happier with a single steering damper.I have a dual setup. Guess I'll show myself out.
Nah I know, just making fun of myself. lol
My Brothers TJ has an OME stabilizer on it and it feels better.
Being as it's an OME it's probably gas-charged which is great for suspension shocks but not often a good choice for a steering damper. I'd go for either Rancho's RS5000 kit or a Monroe, both of which are hydraulic. Hydraulic steering dampers work equally 50-50 in both directions, gas-charged are not equal in both directions, one direction gets more push.
