You may not need to replace parts. Check out this thread. I haven't had a problem with mine once I put the washer in a year or two ago.

@Xyleff - you don't say why you want to replace that rod, so I'm going to guess based my own experiences along with others I have read about.
That whole piece/assembly with the rod looks like it bolts on, maybe replace that assembly so you would have all the important bits?
If you are having an issue with noise, creaking, squeaking, as myself and others have had, you can try the washer mod suggested by @RodeoRam above, or...
When mine was making a horrible racket, and after discovering that light weight spray lubes did not help, I used an aerosol, spray white lithium grease. While the lightweight spray lube would work, it would only last a couple days. The lithium grease has lasted over a year and it is still quiet. I'm thinking of using it again while it is hot here, allowing the grease to flow in and around the rod and bushing.
If you really need to replace that rod you might need to visit your local dealer's parts department to see what you can get using their parts manuals.
Good luck.

@Xyleff - I may have located what you are looking for. I also have a 2014 and the pic you posted looks exactly like what I have. I found a site that seems to list what you're looking for, and it looks like it is not available, but it does show Mopar part numbers, so...

Thanks for all the responses! I found what i was looking for. Door wouldn’t close because the rod on that hinge was bent and the piece that rides on the bushing had slid off. That picture isn’t actually mine. It was just for reference.
