Isuzu Crosswind Owners Thread [continued]

I had that experience before also dun sa XUV ko. Ilang balik na ako sa Servites sa Timog but everytime, their machine says camber/caster/alignment and balance is normal and yet kitang kita na hindi pantay yung ubos nang gulong. Since I live in Cainta, I decided to bring it to Servitek Marcos Highway and yun, huli! Its been 2 years already and ok pa din naman yung alignment.

i've been troubleshooting cause of uneven wear of front tires. naka ilang balik na sa servitek pero ok naman lahat alignment analysis. finally, servitek mechanic recommended replacement of idler arm and then check for possible camber, caster at alignment (for the nth time

).

kelangan kong matunton cause noong wear bago bili bago gulong. yung napu-pudpod ay yung inner portion nung tires.

naka discourage pa kasi sabi mechanic common problem nang mga kapwa crosswind ito at considering na wala pa 2 years yung xuv namin. hay grrrr talaga.

suggestions or tips from those who had the same and solved the problem? salamat!!!

ano ba gamit mo na gulong? yong stock ba na Goodyear forterra ba yun??...if yes, hindi nga pantay ng pudpud ng gulong na yan. Kahit na aligned naman ang sasakyan mo hindi pantay ang pudpud nyan. Aside from that, maugong pa yang gulong na yan. Palitan mo ng gulong, yan ang remedyo dyan. nag palit ako ng Michelin, ayun my problem solved.

I'm planning to have the brake fluid changed bukas. any suggestions po kung saan ok magpableed? pasig cainta area po sana. 2010 pa ata huling change ng brake fluid nya. TIA

Hello Choco_Mallows, you can try this:

1. With the engine off, step hard on your brake pedal, hold it for a second or two and then release. Repeat this for 3 to four times.
2. After doing step #1, step on the brake pedal again (applying some pressure but not too hard) and start the engine. You will feel the pedal going down. Do not release the pedal yet and hold for a few seconds. This means the brake booster is working.
3. Release the brake pedal.

Hope this helps. Let us know if it worked.

Yung Michelin Energy XM2 Tires binili ko mas mahal pa yung 205x65 kesa sa 205x70 bought it * 4.5k each

Just want to share my sportivo 2005 shock absorber replacement, I replaced with 4 pcs. KYB Gas Excel made in thailand and I was very satisfied sa naging results. No more nose diving when sudden braking, feeling firm ang sasakyan, no more bounciness on irregular road. di na sya kumakabig kapag biglang nahipan ng malakas na hangin.

magkanong nagastos mo? ganyan din ang mga symptoms ng sasakyan ko, shocks na siguro ang problem.

Ask ko lang, na experience nyo na ba pag gabi hirap humatak crosswind nyo? yung sa akin kasi pag open na ng headlight parang di agad pumapasok ang shift, pero sa umaga ok naman, so ginawa ko sinubukan ko na buksan headlights sa umaga ayun delay talaga pagpasok ng gear kailangan itodo apak sa gas tapos dun pa lang magsi shift ng gear , so suspect ko pag binubuksan headlight ganun ang nangyayari. Ano kayang diprensya? sa alternator? anyone na naka experience nito? XTO matic pala yung sa akin
