ABSTRACT:
A steering centering device for vehicles to import straight line stability without excess induced resistance during use. The device includes a pair of spring urged roller bearing assemblies connected to the vehicle steering assembly for select movement along respective contoured cam travel surfaces. Resistance is imparted to the centering assembly as the roller bearings move from a rest (centered notch position) by steering input. A trim adjustment is provided to adjustably reposition the roller bearings rest position and a pressure damper is alternately positioned between the roller bearings to increase turning resistance.
