For the purposes of describing and claiming the present invention, the term 'rod' is intended to refer to any elongated structure. Such an elongated structure may be solid or hollow and may have any desired cross-section (e.g., circular, oval, square, rectangular). Further, for the purposes of describing and claiming the present invention, the term 'interference fit' is intended to refer to physical contact between two or more components.
