Default What's stronger?

Would dom tubing or some stainless turned and bored be stronger for a control arm bushing sleeve? Then i could make my own poly bushings to fit and bolt sleeves.

DOM is a better choice.
Stainless gawls easier and isn't going to be any stronger than DOM.

It's great for shiny of brushed trim parts, but not for chassis/suspension parts.

D.O.M. FTW.

depends what kind of stainless...316, 17-4, 410...different properties (yeild strength, tensile strength...) for different types. find the properties of both materials and then decide for yourself. There is also a ton of grades available for DOM steel, 1008, 1010, .... (most dom for what we are using is 1020) stress relieved/annealed, honed...the list goes on...and on and on.
