Default squeaking after rsm replacement?

Hey guys, just finished replacing all the blown shocks/struts on my new-to-me ti with a low mileage m-sport set-up I found on craigslist (60k miles). I also installed a rear shock mount kit I bought from UCC (meyle hd mounts with gaskets and reinforcement plates...great deal at 55 bucks by the way).

Anyway, the car feels transformed, but I have a low speed, low frequency squeaking coming from the rear that is nearly constant when the engine speed is low enough so that the engine noise doesn't drown out everything else. I'm pretty sure I've got everything tight, but do you think cranking down the rsm bolts a bit more may help? How about a little Wd-40 around the bushing in the mount? Any advice would be great!

Scott, did you torque everything down? That would be my thinking if I was getting a squeak.

Thanks guys. I'll check the rsm bolts and maybe add a bit of grease. Scott.
