Squeaking or creaking sound when raise/lower exam table that using hydraulic.

We have a Biodex echo exam table that is working well except there is a creaking/sqeaking sound when raise lower the bed. The sound seems to be coming from the hydraulic piston when at certains levels raising or lowering the bed. 

A new bed is not an option. 
I will assess again for other areas of metal on metal that need white lithium grease.

Thoughts on a minimal amount of white lithium grease to the hydraulic piston? Based on what I read elsewhere on Medwrench, this is not a good choice?????

Thank you.

Get some lubricant into any/all pivot points and trunnions, etc. It could be any of these other points that have to slide/rotate as the bed raises/lowers. If you can find the one that was making the noise, it might be good to disassemble that part, and then clean, evaluate the amount of wear and/or damage, and then properly lubricate it.
