I was gonna install the 6112s this week but now I’m concerned... if the rod adapter is missing is this a critical component or just a way to extend the washer/bushing high enough for threads?

I would not use it assembled incorrectly, it is a critical component doing hard work. Not sure if it is KYB or PepBoys' fault.... I had no issues with either the 600 or the 650lb springs.
