Rear sway bar bushing trouble

A few weeks ago I went 4wheelin and I lost my rear sway bar bushings. I replaced them with new toyota ones because I couldnt find any aftermarket bushings for a 3rd gen. I went 4wheeling yesterday and heard a familiar clanking coming from the rear. I lost another say bar bushing. I cant figure out how this is happening or what I can do to stop it. If anyone had this problem and knows how to fix it or knows of better bushings, please let me know.

I took mine off about 9months ago, and didn't even notice the difference. Lars(veteran member/fab guru) also did some testing and found that the rear bar really makes little or no difference.
I didn't notice any body roll until I got quick disconnects for the front and left them off after wheeling one time. When turning corners I could feel the difference and also on the fwy it felt like it was floating around and unstable.
But, with them connected, nice and tight through the turns. Of course the stiffer SAWs may help a little with that
