It happens on the rear springs of 1991-1996 Escorts all the time. It's due to a plastic sleeve that was put around part of the spring that retained moisture and therefore promoted rust. I don't know if I was in the car at the time, and I heard nothing.
More importantly, I do not recommend that you drive the car any more than you have to before replacing your springs (and you do them in pairs). Your alignment is off and you will damage your tires.
