Default TC3 shocks.

My friend just bought a tc3 team kit, and then bought the threaded shock bodies. My question is, since i helped him build the car ("supervised"), he had problems with the shocks, it seemed that no matter how hard he tried, the air bubbles just wouldnt go away, therefore making that annoying squeeking noise.
As i have made many shocks before, and my pro2 threaded shocks work perfectly, i had a shot... no luck, still air bubbles, and i was only able to get the rebound right on two shocks, and they too have the annoying sqeeking noise.
So anyone know a way of getting rid of those god damn air bubbles???
Also, is it something with team associated kits or something? Because my t3 shocks also are pretty damn impossible to get rid of the air bubbles, also they included dumb ass screws, that were stripped, same as my friends tc3 kit.. Now he has to go out and get some new screws for the car, how frustrating!!!!!
Edit: When the shocks have air bubbles in them, and they make the "squeeking" noise, does it really affect the performace at all? What about rebound? Does that affect performace at all?
