1997 Isuzu Rodeo L 3.2
Summary:
Great midsize SUV!
Faults:
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.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

After much searching, I discovered the rattling that comes from behind the air bag is actually the hose that runs from the windshield washer reservoir to the spray nozzles in front of the window.
The wind beats them against the underside of the hood.
Securing them fixes the problem.
When driving, it sounds like for all of the world that it comes from within your glovebox.
