Duck, These Saftey Plus / Road master are NOT like a steering dampner or an ordinary shock (even though they look like one - Except for RM has a spring around it).

They give you a full steering range lock to lock but if you turn left it will give you resistants and immediatly return to center (neutral), and if you turn right it will go to immediately back to center.

They try to keep the wheels pointed straight at all times but do so in a confortable and controlled way.

Kinda like when you have a FWD car, turn a corner then gun it.... the wheel snaps back to center much faster than any RWD car that I have even driven.

I dont know how to explain it... It just works. and it is NOT like a damper on the OEM chassis or like on my modified Jeep Wrangler.

But IMO any aftermarket name brand shock/Dampner will be an improvment over what you have currently. The factory puts on the cheapest part they can get away with and they are produced by the lowest bidder.

So if your budget dictates $80 .... the Dampner will still be an improment esp on rough roads.
