When To Get 1997 Isuzu Rodeo Suspension Service

When you first bought your 1997 Isuzu Rodeo, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Perhaps your Rodeo feels bouncy, pulls to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 1997 Isuzu Rodeo, bring it in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We’ll check the front and rear suspension, shock absorbers, damper springs, CV joints and axles, struts, bushings, chassis components, wheel hub bearings, and power steering components. We’ll get to the source of your car problems 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 your Isuzu Rodeo’s suspension or steering system components need to be replaced due to wear and tear, 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

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 1997 Isuzu Rodeo suspension system. They influence the control and handling of the vehicle, keeping it from bottoming out. 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 1997 Isuzu Rodeo shock and strut replacement since many things can influence the wear rate and severity of the wear. Bouncing, swaying, or an unusual rocking sensation could all be indicators of worn Isuzu Rodeo shocks and struts. It’s a smart move to get your Rodeo’s shocks and struts regularly inspected by a trusted technician. Schedule an appointment online and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

1997 Rodeo Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Isuzu's suspension? Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also let you know when it's time to replace your tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Isuzu Rodeo? Rotations and alignments involve minor tweaks that have a major impact. Both services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to all tires and that your tires come into contact with the road as they should.
  • When does Isuzu Rodeo power steering fluid need to be inspected or changed? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your Rodeo is low on power steering fluid, we’ll top it off per Isuzu's guidelines to help your suspension perform optimally.
  • Why does my Isuzu Rodeo bounce so much? Excessive bouncing in your Isuzu Rodeo might be due to damaged struts or shocks that are unable to absorb road bumps effectively, causing your vehicle to feel more like a pogo stick than a smooth ride.
  • Why does my Rodeo front end dip forward when I brake? As you brake, the forward momentum of your Rodeo combined with its weight sends a ton of force to its front end. A damaged or worn suspension system can cause the front end to compress and dip even further.
  • How can I tell if the shocks on my Isuzu Rodeo are bad? If your Rodeo shock absorbers are worn out, they won’t be able to properly dampen road bumps. You might experience a bouncy or unstable ride, especially over bumps or rough roads. Your Rodeo might also feel like it sways or rolls as you turn.
