You didn't mention whether you tried adjusting the pin first. It looks like the pin may be worn enough that it is too narrow which allows it to contact the rod. I see what appear to be scrape marks from the pin bottoming out. Either buy a new pin or grind off some of the narrow end of the pin until it wont bottom out in the groove. The kit I bought had new bearings but I should have replaced the races as well. And don't skip removing the cotter pin and readjusting the end cap.
