Princeton PB55.3X Mast groaning

While lifting or lowering between three and 6 feet the mast groans. I have loosened up all of the thrust pucks to eliminate a mechanical binding of the rails however the noise continues.
Does anyone have any information about having problems with lift cylinders on these units?

Fact of the week
Construction of the Sydney Opera House became so costly that the New South Wales government introduced a series of public lotteries to raise the funds needed to continue. A total of 496 lotteries and 86.7 million tickets raised $102 million between 1957 and 1986.
