if you have a 'bounce. in the mast & carriage when you stop raising or lowering it is most likely air as you suspect.

2 things i would do
- check to see if the hydraulic system has an accumulator, a bad accumulator can cause this.
- try and bleed the air out of the cylinders. The older cylinders usually had a bleeder screw near or on top of the cylinder.
