If the inner metal shaft pivots on the rubber, it is defective, IMO. Most bushing like these I am familar with, should not pivot on the inner shaft because they are molded to it. Once they start to pivot, is when the bushings tear. Maybe someone else knows better than me.

PS think about where you want the lube to work.
