As Dennis said, failures generally happen at the head. As part of rebuilding my rig I had all of the rod re-headed. More importantly in my case was the fact that I changed the style of tang. The original style was very problematic and I replaced all of them with the newer design stemball tangs. I don't know what style you have but the original Navtec tangs were cutting through my rod.
I did this in 1997 so pricing won't be of much value to you. I do feel very confident in the current condition of my rig as it is. I'm getting ready to find a good rigger in our area. I've got a contact and I will get back to you on that when I can.
