Squeek when turning wheel after replacing strut mounts?

[Nate Stuart]

There shouldn't be anything he would have had to lube, is there anyway
that he incorrectly assembled the upper mount, maybe he didn't use the
correct nut on the top of the bearing that clamps it to the shock shaft.
This might cause the whole strut mount rubber assembly to rotate inside
the cup at the top of the strut tower. If you have a friend and a
flashlight see if you can peer in between the metal disc at the top of the
strut, and the strut tower, you should have just enough room to look at a
rubber bit of the strut mount. When one person turns the wheel the rubber
mount should never move, if it does something got fubared on the install.
