having some "suspsion" problems??

[rollinondonuts]

ok so well im having some suspsion problems i need to fix on the s13,my what i think are my spring's kinda squeak and make a griding noise going around turns,i can avoid this by cuting the corners and geting the weight right but i can swearve in the wrong lane befor each turn so i need to fix this.it sounds just like if the tires are rubbing but there not.Any clues? i know despriction is very bad but i figured this is common and i just need a new set of springs,the noise is very bad and is in every spring ,both front and rear

Can't really get a good diagnoses of the problem unless seen in person.
What kind of springs are on the car now?
Sounds to me like the rubber bushings on the top hats may be rotted away or have dried up.

all stock.I removed the passenger side inner fender plastic protection peice thing and it seem to stop (because on that side it was the loudest) it sounded just like somthing was grinding,but nothing was??,but it doesent make it anymore it seems,ill have to do some high speed testing to rule it out fully

[Outkasted24]

was there any wear on the fender lining when you took it off?

[rollinondonuts]

not really?! which is what makes no since,but it doesent make the noise anymore? put like 50 miles on the car today just testing it threw some curvey roads...nothing..im happy i guess but it boggles me what it was..maybe it was because the car had been sitting for a long time?

I was just wondering if I were to get a set of Nissan Tie Rod Ends (http://www.shopnisparts.com/nissan-tie-rod-end/), would it be compatible with my 22" thompsons? Currently driving a 2nd hand 98' Frontier. :mullet:

thats super random and off topic

back on topic
i agree with outcast, sounds like the rubber mount pads are rotted or removed. if theres a ton of squeaks still you might want to pick up some silicon lubricant spray or something to that effect and just coat the mounts , springs and what not
i recall one of my friend with the new tiburon v6 having squeaks in his front end similarish to what your describing and after he took it to the dealership 10 or so times we coated it down and the squeaks stopped
