Default Sway bar Bracket Missing

I changed my wheels over today to find a bit of a surprise. My left front Sway bar bracket was just Plain GONE. As in Bar was hanging down by the right front. (gendron Bar) Other then this explaining the sever oversteer at petersburg it's kinda scary as i can remember really cranking down onthe bolts to after changing bars just before the event. I've expereinced finding them a bit loose before but never all together backed out. I managed to retro fit the factory bracket and some Cheapo mild steel bolts from home depot that should make it hold for the weekend, but the real question is. Has anyone experienced this before and if so is their a solution other then lock tight. I put on some lock washers but I don't have much faith in that keeping them tight.

When I replaced my original Comptech adjustable bar with the new version, I found no looseness. Maybe something was cocked slightly when you tightened the bracket originally? Might be a good idea to use Loctite for some peace of mind...

If you over torqued them they might have snapped...

Ha Cursed ahh. OK yeah you have a point. With the Ghetto rig bar bracket I managed Fastest Fendered time of the day on those Sport cups. As much as they suck to drive on I'm starting to think they aren't that bad of a tire. I still think Azenis have more grip though.
