i don't know either, but i see them on 4x4s all the time. a quick google for "4x4 suspension" shows that they are called a steering damper

 

so i guess they act as a absorber of shocks deliverered into the steering system my rough terrain, as you want to be able to steer and keep the vehicle's direction stable, not have the wheel wrenched out of your hand and your fourby go out of control the first big rock you hit. it looks like they do this by placing a compressible brace (in the form of a shock absorber and coil spring) between the steering components, which is a moving part, and the chassis of the vehicle, which is a non-moving part that you're trying to control

 

seems to make sense to me?

 

also quote ironic for that ford up there. i'll bet the biggest shock it gets to its steering system is speed humps in carparks. if it even fits in a carpark, disgusting thing

Yeah it doesn't look very 4 x 4'ish, it should be COVERED in mud...silly fake 4 x 4's

Yeh, that's calle da steering stabilizer. It's used to "soften/slow" the bumpsteer that you get on SUV's and trucks. Never seen one with a coil on it though. Most of the time they put two on instead of one.
