A stabilizer apparatus adapted to be connected to the steering mechanism of a vehicle such that movement of the steering wheels from a neutral position is resisted by a spring assembly. The apparatus is characterized by a camber plate disposed longitudinally, and affixed to the steering arm at the underside of the steering knuckle sleeve, abutting the wheel kingpin. A recovery bar of the same size as the camber plate is held generally parallel thereto by a pair of coil springs connecting their ends. The recovery bar has a fulcrum pin aligned with the wheel kingpin and underlying the vehicle axle. A second pair of coil springs connect a fixed vehicle mounting member to the recovery bar and urge the latter away from the wheel, the fulcrum pin being guided rectilinearly in a direction parallel to the vehicle axle by a bar pivoted to the fulcrum pin and sliding in a sleeve member affixed to the mounting member. Turning movements of the steering wheel will move the recovery bar transversely of the vehicle axle toward the wheel, and will be resisted by one spring of each pair of coil springs.
