Burning rubber smell 2001 mercury sable

SOURCE: power steering leak on passengers side of 1999 mercury sable.

If it "RED" in color, like p/s fluid, and coming from the BOOT, then its your p/s rack assembly.The unit has to be replaced and alignment reset. ..also check the HOSES they are prone to leak also...hope this helped..GL

SOURCE: the car smells like antifreeze when i stop at a stoplight

sounds like heater core.If not to bad yet right floor board won`t be wet if bad enough right floor below heater will be wet.Turn defrosters on hi windshield moisture probly heater core

SOURCE: engine shaking in the morning

Try getting your tire balaced as you ight have a tire that has seperated from the inner wall, as it sits overnight it will cool down then when you drive it the rubber sofens and the vibration will improve. I have had water in the tire too but i don't think thats your problem.
hope this helps.

SOURCE: Smells like rubber is burning after I turn off my engine.

It sounds like your heater core is leaking. Check to see if you are losing coolant, are smell like antifreeze???? With 190,000-miles this could be what your smelling??? Just a though???

Hello,
That's good News! it means your A.B.S. system is working correctly, I know what you mean as it frightened me the first time in my 960, made a gruff gruff grinding noise and pulsing through the footbrake pedal, I drive a B.M.W. touring and in the recent snow I was pleased to feel a similar thing.
Hope this takes out your worries!
As for the smell, have your brakes examined for wear.
