Pease help, problem with sprigs

I have a 98 Maxima and I had H&R's till today. This morning me and my buddy instaled Intrax. Did same thing as the first time instaling H&R's. After we were done, I took a drive. As soon as I turned my wheel the passanger side spring started skraping and making loud strange noises. So after I turn the steering wheel to the left or right the springs maked loud noises. Anybody had this problem or know what's going on? Please let me know, thank you for your help.

We took the spring out today, double chacked everything, put it back it the passanger side is fine now. Although the driver side is still making cracking noise, but it's not as loud as the other side because I didn't even hear it yesterday. Tomorrow I'll take the other spring out and see what happens.

make sure the "OUT" imprint on the strut hat is rotated to the outside/closest to the fender edge. This can sometimes cause noise if it's not located properly.

the strut bearings are probably crushed or not seated right
