Front Sway Bar

hey guys, I own a 99 F-350 PSD crew cab 4X4, on the front axle there is a sway bar that mounts from the axle to the frame on the drivers and passangers side frame rails, by means of a short (16"long) factory bent metal brackets. These brackets that mount the sway bar to the frame keep pushing off the rubber mounts and off the sway bar. I have replaced both sides thinking that they may have gotten bent but the same problem still exists. When the push off the sway bars they seem to rub agaist the frame rails and make a "thud" when ever you go over any bumps! Any suggestions on fixing so that they will stay on!?!

Have you tried using poly urethane bushings? Also is your truck lifted?

Have you also checked the track arm bushings? Maybe the front end is moving side to side.
