Breaking sway bar balls

Hello again. I added a left side sway bar this year (Husky) and have broken the shank on the front mounting ball on both trips so far. I have checked the operation in turns and everything looks good so just wondering if anybody else has had this problem. I have emailed Husky and am awaiting a reply. Thanks.

    Long shot question but: Did you by chance do any backing up with the sway bar engaged? I ask because many authorities recommend that add-on friction sway bar(s) be disconnected before backing.

    Quick Tips:
    It is recommended that you remove the friction-style sway control before backing up to ease reversing and prevent damage to your system.
