Buy some dom.. either 1.75x.120 this could used for your arms, and for bushings. If it was me and I was building adjustable ones I would use 2x.25 with 1.25" hiems or johnny joints on one ends and bushing on axle end.


Use a hole saw to notch your tube for the bushing, and be sure to beel the tube on the bushing side as well as drill two holes in it for plug welds 180* out
