I have a wooden filing cabinet with two drawers. All the removable
rods that hold up the hanging files are the same length - about 14
inches. However, over the years, the wood seems to have worn away a
bit around the holes on the right hand side. So now the rods won't
stay up whenever I open or close the drawer.

I'd make a metal repair plate, drill/file a hole for the rod, and fit
it into
the worn-wood spot. You can get fancy and mortise it in place.
