2007 expy Power liftgate

My new to me lift gate opener makes a loud squealing noise when opening sometimes. Tried some silicone spray did not help. Any fixes for this, it still works fine.

Try to locate the area that the squeal is coming from first then flood the snot out of it with lithium grease.

Power lift gate only has one arm that lifts it.

Will give the grease a shot, not sure if it will damage internals.

Check the gate hinges

Hi Chris did the Lithium Grease worked for you?

My 2008 Expy is doing the same noise when opening power liftgate.

Update, looks like there is a TSB for the Power Liftgate making noise, for 2007-2008 Expys and Navigators.

I did the test as described in the link and had to replace the lift rod, problem solved, no more sounds when opening or closing power lift gate.

Hope this helps some one.
