Without a steering damper the wheel would be shaking all of the time....not like when wheels are out of balance....but due to road surface. Damping also goes a step further....

Most cars have "adjustable" steering damper...lower damping at low speed to make wheel easier to turn amd higher damping as speed goes higher to give better road feel/control....
