Rattle Noise with Y movement. Is possible to use Rubber pads in bearing like mk4?

I see Mk4 is using 1mm rubber pads in the 3 Bed bearings.
It seems to reduce the "rattle noise"  with Y movement......  something that is making me crazy in my 3 mk3s+ units.....

It´s not possible to do this mod in mk3s?     I searched for rubber pad mod or similar,  but cant find anything.  

Thanks!!!!

RE:

If you could get the pads needed, possibly.  But it may change the Z height of the bed.  Will that cause other problems without the rest of the 3.9 mods?  I don't know.  I tried a Z bracket mod on my mk3s+ and it messed up Z axis homing. 

I found on my MK3S+ the Y started to get noisy after 6 months.  It quieted down once I re-torqued all the Y axis rod mounting bolts.  It is part of my 6 month maintenance check now on my MK4 also.  Last 6 month check 2 of the bolts that clamp the Y axis rods were almost a full turn to tight.
