C4 lower control arm bushings

[Bud_L]

I'm in the process of replacing lower control arm bushings on an 87. On disassembly I found quite a bit of corrosion in the bushing area of one of the control arms. After cleaning up the control arm I found the new neoprene bushing to be almost a "drop in" fit. The bushing fit in the non corroded arm is a light press fit. Is that a problem? Should I replace the corroded arm? Should the outside of the bushings be lubed prior to installation? Thanks for your help.

It would cause your steering wheel to be off center if real bad that is all.
