Default Passenger side strut squeak

I realize there are a lot of threads about this issue but I'm having a hard time finding a solution. I had a bad squeak anytime the car moved it seemed. The shop said swaybar links and struts. I changed them out and the squeak was completely gone for about 20 hours. Now it's back and is more annoying then ever. It's as if I had done nothing to the car at all. Is it really just the mount that is causing this? I did both struts myself and the driver side is fine it's just the passenger side. Any advise please?

ball joints sound like the culprit, I had all kinds of squeaks, started replacing the swaybar components then the strut components and finally tie rods and ball joints
