Weird noise from front end after installing lowering springs

[austin8993]

Ok, I just installed my lowering springs a few weeks ago and ever since I've had this weird rubbery rubbing sound from my driver tire when I turn hard left. Turning right is fine and when I'm doing over 5mph or so turning left is fine. Its only when im pulling in a parking spot or turning left from a stop. My mechanic thought it was my upper strut mount so I went and bought one and let him put it on but literally no change. Does anyone know what else it could be? Please help. Thanks.

Not sure, but don't your lower control arms have a sort of round pivot bushing in there? Could that be bound up, worn or something? I've read of this being an issue with G35s and 350Zs where the lower control arm connects to the sub-frame (not the knuckle). So, that's my guess. Try jacking up the corner that squeaks and have someone turn the wheel to see if you can get a squeak with the tire off the ground, then try to isolate the source of that noise. You can also look for interference in this situation or put the car on the ground, turn hard left and look for rubbing (could be hitting your new springs in the inside of the tire?).
