Default Left side of trunk is squeaking on 2013...

Every time I open my trunk, it makes a squeaking noise and usually when I lower it as well. I have everything torn apart right now in my trunk so I figured I would grease the joints but everything looks fine. Everything appears to be well greased. Do you think it is the actual hydraulic failing?

​​​​​​Maybe I should just grease everything anyway. Any idea what type of grease I should use?

I like to use some type of moly-lithium grease for door hinges, etc. Have used for several years and have found it works and lasts for a considerable amount of time.
