Abstract
A regulating rod () has a rod part () which has an end region () provided with an external thread and an end piece () which has a receiving recess (). A knurled nut () is arranged and guided in the receiving recess () and has an internal thread into which the external thread of the externally threaded end region () is screwed. The end piece () further has a weld window () adjacent the knurled nut. Once the length of the regulating rod is adjusted by rotation of the knurled nut, further rotation of the knurled nut is prevented by introducing and filling the weld window with a weld filler such that the knurled nut () is non-detachably fixed and thereby the set length of the regulating rod is fixed.
