Screech noise after fitting cup shocks

The noise occurs when driving over speed bumps at moderate speed, and it comes from the front end.
After first installing, there had been very bad vibration while stating still and turning the steering wheel left/right, so the mechanic trimmed about 2-3mm from the upper mount (new one but non sport version) and the vibration disappeared about 90%, and there is still some vibration sometimes.
While searching the web for solution, I saw in the spring fitting manual that there is no reference of the small spacer that comes after the upper mount, as in my car it was installed and it is now also fitted.

So - does the spacer should be fitted? Should I order a new set of genuine sport version upper mounting (60 00 073 600)?
Is it something related to the ball joints? :weary:

p.s wheel alignment tuned and perfectly sets.

Thanks

Might be worth getting the correct top mounts and bearings.

I believe the spacer is a mod which somebody made to stop the strut knocking on full lock.
