Chrissy,
I usually don't skimp on money for my car to be checked by the professional
who could fix it and could tell what to adjust. Life is too valuable. You can find the money easily if you continue to live and breathe.
So I say, go to the car dealership, let them examine your car so that you will have peace of mind when you are driving. That you are driving a car checked by people who always deal with this kind of problem. Be safe.
