Gordon,

I'm glad you came up with the bushings idea too; that gives me quite a bit of confidence. My plan is similar, but a tad different:

I'll use 2 component epoxy glue (Araldite & friends). Degrease and clean the tube. Apply a hefty glue drop on one end of the tube so that it looks like you were dipping a maccaroni in ketchup. Glue should be 3..5 mm on the inside, a bit on the front end, not quite so much on the outside of the tube. Use a toothpick to push a "pilot hole" into the tube. Let glue harden. Now use a drill of about the same diameter as the rod (slightly less) and finish the hole. Gently sand the front of the tube till there's no more lateral play.
Same procedure for the other end of the tube.

Now you have a combined bushing/shim. No metal touches metal so the whole shebang will move virtually silently.

Yes, that's what I'll do. I can't lose a lot.
