Thanks for the input Mike,
I will have to do an upgrade I guess. But for now I happen to have an extra that came along with the one I broke. Some nice guy sent me several if you remember. Bud #3400 ( Drive it like there is no tomorrow -- for there may not be ! )

Bud,
This is a common occurrence. The inner front sway bar brackets are loaded more heavily than the others, and eventually one side breaks. This then negates the function of the swaybar.
The stock clamp is simply underdesigned for its role. All the vendors sell high bling machined billet aluminum sway bar brackets; although their intent is primarily cosmetic function, they are actually rather necessary precisely where you can't see them.....
