1997 Isuzu Rodeo L review from North America
"Great midsize SUV!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Terrible quality on the shock absorbers.
Mild belt squeal at start up even after installing new belts.
Windshield washer nozzles clogged and broke apart when attempting to change them.
General comments?
Bought and installed Bilstein shocks and they improved the ride comfort and handling 110%. Regular aerosol can of belt dressing cured the squeal at start up.
Aftermarket nozzles were better quality and installed a lot easier.
