Default Squeaky strut

Not had this car long but the front strut is so bloody squeeky it's annoying, thing is the strut top on the squeaky side looks new? Could if be fitted wrong?
Any suggestions guys

if it's an inverted front strut (your profile pick looks like an Sti in which case it will have inverteds on it) then they could have gone dry and it'll be the strut leg itself squeeking. Shove som lithium greas at it and see if that cures the squeek.
If it is that, you'd need to properly rebuild and re-grease the stut, and fit grease nipples as a permanent solution.

Do it quick before the strut fails and starts to knock!
