I don't see where Safe-T-Plus calls itself a damper. I know it's semantics, but in this case it's important. Safe-T-Plus may very well also have damping built in like the Ford damper, but it's main function appears to be to help partially lock vehicle steering in the straight-ahead direction. It sets a preload on vehicle steering that holds it in one position.

From their WEB site:

"Safe-T-Plus is a steering control device that will automatically stabilize the vehicle, enabling you to safely maneuver through an unexpected perilous road situation before you're even aware of it."


Ads seem to refer to it as a stabilizer. And that makes sense because it stabilizes steering in the straight-ahead position; but is that necessarily a good thing? Personally, I'm not sure I want a device that will isolate me as the driver from "perilous road" conditions. Just because I may not feel the hazard doesn't mean it's not occurring.
