When To Get 1996 Isuzu Rodeo Suspension Service

When you first bought your 1996 Isuzu Rodeo, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your Rodeo jolts, pulls to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 1996 Isuzu Rodeo in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

We'll start by inspecting the suspension system to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock dampeners, coil springs, CV joints and axles, bushings, struts, chassis, wheel hub bearings, and power steering components. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work. If parts of your Isuzu Rodeo suspension or steering system need to be replaced because they're worn or damaged, we may also suggest a wheel alignment because installing new steering and suspension components may alter wheel angles and ride height.

Isuzu Rodeo Replacement Shocks & Struts

Struts and shocks are a vital part of your 1996 Isuzu Rodeo’s suspension. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. Shocks keep the car from bouncing too much and struts support the structure of the suspension. These pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. But there’s no set schedule for getting your 1996 Isuzu Rodeo’s shocks and struts replaced since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. Bouncing, swaying from side to side, or an unusual rocking sensation can all point to issues with your Isuzu Rodeo shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Rodeo’s shocks and struts routinely inspected by an ASE-certified technician. So, avoid a bumpy ride. Schedule an appointment for steering and suspension services at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

Questions About 1996 Isuzu Rodeo Steering & Suspension

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Isuzu's suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also help you notice when you need new tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.
  • Why bother with routine wheel alignments and tire rotations for my Isuzu Rodeo? Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. Both services help ensure that the correct amount of pressure is applied to each tire and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • Does my Isuzu Rodeo power steering fluid need to be checked? Have your power steering fluid inspected every few months or when you get an oil change. If your Rodeo’s power steering fluid is low, we’ll top it off per Isuzu's guidelines to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why does my Isuzu Rodeo bounce so much? If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your Rodeo goes over a bump or dip, you may have a problem with your struts or shocks. Faulty shocks and struts can’t properly absorb road bumps, leading to a bouncy ride.
  • What can cause the front end of my Rodeo to dip forward when I apply the brakes? When you brake, the forward momentum combined with your vehicle's weight sends a lot of force to the vehicle's front end. A bad suspension can cause all that weight and force to push the front end downward.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my Isuzu Rodeo need replacing? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your Rodeo feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your Rodeo travels over minor bumps.
