Well, for starters, you have to let everyone know what year your car is and how many miles on it. Ever been in a front end accident? IMO, you should be looking to diagnose the loss of coolant first and then worry about smoothing out your steering and suspension, If your engine overheats, then you might be walking anyways. 
Once you post some more info on your car I'm sure plenty of members will post suggestions. My only suggestion to you is to find out where the coolant is coming from IMMEDIATELY!! If it's a simple fix like a pin hole in a hose then replace it. But if it's a crack in your radiator, then you will be in for a weekend project.
Post some more info and let's get it fixed asap. Worry about the suspension later.

okay so my car is a 95 maxima se with 145k on the body and 90k on the 99 se motor, i just bought the car like 3and a half weeks ago, the guy said it has a new radiator, but while i drive theres no leaks, but when im parked, i check out the car after a while, theres coolant all over the rad support, and then under the car from the passenger side, car doesn't over heat, radiator is filled with coolant. but today i saw white smoke in the front for a few seconds , then it went away. all the hoses seem fine? im assuming the water pump?
also has an antifreeze smell when i park the car from the front, no smoke in the exhaust

If it's dripping out from the passenger (right) side of the engine bay, looks like off of the oil pan then most likely it's your water pump.

READ THAT NOW!
This is getting very annoying. I don't care how important your topic is, make sure the thread title is something better than QUESTIONS, HELP ME, OMG LOOOKZ.
This has already been covered in the stickies, but no one reads them...
So please be kind to everyone and make a useful thread topic.

Just in case you missed it before...
General 4th gen forum guidelines:
First, remember:
This forum is for posts about 4th Gen cars, not just a forum for any post by people who own 4th gen cars.
People, please be more descriptive in your subject titles. For example, "cone intake," "red/clears," "suspension," "emblems," are not subject titles...they are isolated words. Describe the main problem/question/comment in the subject line ... please! Don't type one or two words and make the rest of the Org try to guess what you're trying to say.
And of course, this extends to the body of your post. Please be as descriptive as possible.
