No data....and I too think it's some hype....

BUT if you think about it, it's certainly plausible I think.

these things impart a centering steer force. In a blow-out, there would be an asymmetric loading that would try to pull or steer you towards the bad tire. I don't feel that this is something one would argue against, right?

So, a device that uses springs to counteract such a steering force and keep things centered is bound to help in my estimation.

No?

In the greater context of this thread though, the devices like this are being used more as a bandaid in my thinking. We have some undesirable steering characteristics that give us a lack of centering in our steering system.
Most likely caused by insufficient caster angle.
but folks are successfully countering this negative characteristic using these spring loaded centering devices.
Hey, not fixing the problem, but if it works, what else is there?
