Best Answer

It's primary purpose is to control excessive feedback into the steering wheel. For example, when you hit a large pothole, some vehicles would feed back that energy into the steering shaft causing the steering wheel to jump left or right suddenly which could cause the driver to loose control of the vehicle. Not all vehicles need one of these.
