If so, is the solution a new tensioner arm or is this a lubrication issue?

Just the fact that you can push the arm by hand makes me think the tensioner is shot. Is there any wobble in the pulley? Are you sure you're not moving just the pulley and not the arm?

Either way, any kind of movement would not be solved with lubrication.
