For the older style NAVTEC rigging the “balls” at the top of the should move freely allowing access to inspect the heads. Most times a simple visual with a magnifying glass will show any defects such as cracking. If seen they should be polished and then do a dye penetrant test. More problematic are the studs at the turnbuckles. If they have been peened then there is no way to remove them without cutting the rod. If they aren’t peened then should be able to heat the fitting to loosen the locktite and unscrew it for inspection. To do a complete inspection of older rod (70’s/80’s vintage" it is best to unstep the mast.
