Cranked stud

[gaufridus]

I am trying to model stud for a model steam engine valve gear.
The diameter of the stud is 3/32" and threaded each end. This stud has a straight portion, is then bent at an angle of approximately 30 degrees for a distance and is then bent back parallel to the original length. The two bends are in the same plane.
How do I go about modelling this please?

try using the sweep command for the body of the stud

draw the trajectory then the profile

then add threads with helical sweep or as cosmetic thread
