If they are quiet/tight the problem is probably the end/back bearing. It is a simple and inexpensive repair to trim the back bearing so it seats further into the casing and stops the noisy end play. Heavy oil will not solve the problem. IMHO it is better to solve the problem than to mask the symptoms.
