Default New bilstein squeaking

After changing out my shocks to bilsteins I'm getting an annoying squeak from the front drivers side. It happens once the jeep has driven a few clicks. If i tighten down the top shock nut the noise disapears.... but only to come back a day later once the shocks been driven on for a while. Any thoughts? Definately coming from top bushing/washer nut area.

Did you seat the rubber grommet in the hole before you tighten?
