Sounds like the rod needs to be sized. A machine shop can do this for you. It may be out of round. Need to mic the inside dimensions 90 degrees apart to see if it is round. If not, resizing the end will fix it.

I would not modify the bearings. You could swap a bearing from one of the rods that is working as expected to see if the bearing is an issue.
