I had lifted my 2000 X a week ago and I get strange scraping noises when I do quick right turns around a corner or right turns doing about 30mph around bends. I am using a full calmini 3 inch suspension lift. My brake pads and rotors look pretty thick and no signs or scrapes on the rotor surface.
Need help figuring this out!!!!

If it only happens with the wheel cranked all the way to one side or the other, I'd say steering stops need some grease, but you don't really turn the wheel to full lock at 30 MPH in corners...
Might just be squeaky control arm bushings, the Calmini lifts are notorious for that.

this is more of a scraping sound than a squeak and I have the newer control arm bushings that were made of different material so these was don't squeak.
The scrape sound sounded like the backplate of rotors but I checked them both and they were fine

The new "black" bushings squeak too, trust me.

My newly lifted xterra (calmini 3" lift) squeaks in the front too...any remedies for this problelm? A real mood killer driving with teh windows down and hearing nothing but squeaking...

Recently been through hell with my full 3" suspension lift from Calmini. I took it to a professional to get it installed, and from the start I had problems. Alignment was wayyyyyy out of specs, torsion bars were maxed, control arm was on snubber, tons of squeaking... etc. After taking it to a few alignment shops, back to the person who installed it, Nobody could figure it out. I took it to a new 4x4 shop for a 3rd opinion and this is what i was informed, pay close attention so your suspension lifts are done correctly. Apprantely in the calmini directions it does not say on which side of the control arm to install the ball joints. On my lift, they installed the ball joints upside down, which caused tons of alignment problems out of spec, the noise, everything. After completely taking it all apart, and actually lubricating hte bushings, replacing my broken alignment bolt, and correctly putting the ball joints on the BOTTOM side, everything fell into specs. Also this piece of crab shop (the first one) didn't install my rubber stoppers for the rear and threw them out.... Will post some pics of my car once i get my tires. If i misnamed a part or something, its because i dont know much about cars but going on what i remember the shop told me. have fun and tread lightly

Hope this helps someone, because this was a real frustrating ordeal.
