Yes I use at least one locknut. 

However, a pushrod doesn't get shorter if it rotates with a clevis on each end.
Since both ends have the same thread (right or left hand), as one clevis screws
on the other one screws off at the same rate.

I wish it would work like a turnbuckle, that way you could adjust a pushrod length
without disconnecting one of the clevises.  Anybody make 2-56 rod with a left
hand thread? I've never seen it.
