Sorry, but what I see is that Frank needs also an new shock rod. Looks like a broken thread in the rod end.

Frank,
Do you can compare the shock rod with the opposite side? Maybe you can see if the rod is damaged or not.
Concerning the rod end... The Hobao cups are fitting in the springs and rod ends, maybe they will also fit on the shock rods.
I use the Hobao cups, but I muddled the rest of the set. So I can not check if it will fit..
