I finally got around to installing a new set of bushings in my lower control arms. I decided to press the pivot shafts into the bushings first then press the complete assembly into the arm. I applied a very small amount of grease only to the inner arm bushing contact area. I then pressed the bushings into the arm. I reached a point when I could not press them any further. I stopped at that point. There is roughly .035th gap between the bottom side of the bushing lip and the control arm face. I am sure they will be fine. If I tried to press them further I would bend the lip on the bushings. Something has definitely changed with these MOOG bushings. Thanks everyone for the feedback.
