Default Bad suspension queak - need help!

I just replaced all four shocks to KYB GR2's. I now have an annoying squeak which seems to be coming from the rear passenger side. I've made sure everything was tightened up but still no luck. The squeak seems to be coming from the bolt that holds the bottom portion of the shock.

Here is exactly what it sounds like:

Thanks for your help!

try greasing the bolts and nuts before you re-assemble. however the video you posted sounds like your spring isn't sitting on the tophat correctly.
