Well I am assuming you didn't do the install, which makes things more difficult because you don't know what the mechanic did/didn't do. There could be half a dozen reasons for that sound. 1) he didn't install the bearing, 2) something is loose, 3) he tightened the top nut on the shocks too tightly, 4) etc. We can't tell you which one it is until you problem solve your way out of it.
