Default Problem with Stabilizer Bar Linkage

Hello

I have a 2007 JK Wrangler X 2 door. I noticed that the Front Stabilizer Bar Linkage upper Nuts were missing. I brought my JK to the dealer and they replaced the Nuts. After about 2 weeks I then noticed that both the left and right upper bolts were broke. I brought the JK back to the dealer and they ordered and replaced the Front Stabilizer Bar Linkage both sides.

I just went off roading on a medium type trail. I have done trails like this in a 1992, 1994 and 1999 wranglers with no issues. After being on the trail for a whole 5 minutes, I heard a bad metal on metal sound and took a look. The right Front Stabilizer Bar Linkage bolt broke again.

Has anyone else had any issues with the Stabilizer Bolts breaking. This seems to be a flaw in the Wrangle design.

BTW: The Stabilizer bar bolt that just broke was only on the jeep for lest then 2 months with only 2 times being off road.

Any help would be appreciated. I have my JK scheduled to go back to the dealer tomorrow.

Thanks
