Adjustable Steering Stabilizer?

Does anyone manufacture an adjustable dampening steering stabilizer?
 
Personally I wouldn't use a shock as a steering damper. A shock is setup with different amounts of damping on compression and extension. A steering damper has the same amount of damping for both. Unless you ran two shocks and mounted them opposite each other. But I would think that would be overkill.

Sorry can't help you out more.

I agree 'overkill' but it IS a good idea. I never thought of that.
Do the manufacturers valve the steering stabilizers differently for each vehicle?
