"Isuzu could be a lot cheaper to run"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Noisy suspension requiring replacement of ball joints 2 times at 90,000 and at 130,000 Km

Clutch kit replaced 2 times at 80,000 and at 130,000 Km

Starter replaced at 75,000

Exhaust System replaced with stainless steel type at 54,000 Km.

General comments?

The truck is very fuel efficient with the best consumption of 8.4 Liters per 100 Km and is quite fast

It has been a benchmark in comfort

However, the engine noise very intrusive into the Truck.

I own a '97 Isuzu KB 200 with about 300 000 memorable kilometers underneath it. However, it has been a bit twitchy on the road recently. The problem occurs when it's traveling at speeds above 80 and 110 kph. It swings from side to side, although there are no cross winds. Should I replace the shocks or the steering system?

Overall, it's a beautiful machine designed to go on forever. Very economic, very fast, but a little lazy in muddy conditions unless carrying a load.
