Default Problem with Quick Disconnects!

Does anyone have rough country sway bar quick disconnects? If you do has anyone had a problem with the top bolt on the sway bar? On the driver side?
I do! The bolt must have vibrated out on the way to Ocal Last weekend and again on the way home. I replaced it for the third time and put thread lock on it so that should have solved the problem I hope! Someone help.

Default Disconnects??

I have considering going to the homemade disconnects, however, the other day I starting getting a trerrible cluncking in the front end. I checked everything I had worked on while putting the homemade clamps on the swaybar. Found a loose bolt on the swaybar (bottom), tightened it and the noise is gone. I am thinking those smaller diameter pins are going to be loose and cause the same noise. I don't like noise coming from the front end.

You can replace the top nut with a self-locking nut. To check for the noise location, lift up & press down on the bumper. You should be able to hear a knock.

Well I finally found the problem. I got under the JEEP last night and had my wife turn the wheel lock to lock and foumd that the bolt that holds the trac bar lowering bracket was finger loose and the axle was moving from side to side. Wow what a tragedy that would have been if it had come all the way out. Thanks to eveyone who helped with this.
