My car isn't running as smooth as it should be. When I'm doing about 40-60, everything's fine but anything above that causes the car to feel like its driving on rough pavement. Its not a horrible shake but its enough to notice it. I just got the hub bearings replaced back in March which helped alot but something's still not right. My mom said it could be a strut issue...
Also, there must be a coolant leak somewhere because I randomly catch the scent of radiator, usually when I come to a stop. I can also see what looks like steam coming from under the hood. Sometimes its on the passenger side, sometimes from the driver. I've never overheated as the thermometer usually stays in the middle or below that. If it does even get close to the top, it drops as soon as I take off from being idle. I do have to change my coolant almost every 2 and a half weeks though.
Anyone had these experiences before. I know I should take it to a garage or something but I've been screwed over in the past so I's just trying to get some possible theories of what could be happening here before I go up there and pay for something I dont even need.
