Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a steering stabilizer for a vehicle. The stabilizer has a damper having a housing, a piston rod extending telescopically from the housing, and a coil spring disposed over the damper. An inner adapter assembly secures a first end of the damper to one of a wheel component or a body component of the vehicle. An outer adapter assembly is coupled to a distal end of the piston rod and couples to the other one of the wheel or body component. A one-piece spring seat is fixedly coupled to the housing. The coil spring is supported at a first end by the spring seat and at a second end by the outer adapter assembly. The spring seat enables the single coil spring to return the steering stabilizer to a central position regardless of whether the single coil spring is under tension or compression.
