Sway Bar End Link Bushing Tearing

When I torque the top nut on my sway bar links to the factory spec of 22 foot-pounds both rubber bushings really get scrunched. (The bushings are shown at the top of the image.) The last time I did this was 18 months (9,000 miles ago) and now I see that both the top and the bottom bushings are torn again, the bottom one is is pretty bad shape.

Suggestions???

From the manual:

Is my truck the only one that has this problem??

My links would usually break before the bushing cracked. So I eventually just took it off.

 

Well I'm glad that at least one more person out of the millions who own one of these trucks has this problem. I was beginning to thing that I was the only one...
