Stumbled across this thread and thought this might save others the hassle... see the picture attached of torque values for rear sway bar. The torque for the bolts on that bracket is 22 ft/lbs, not 44.

The guy in this video below likely looked at the first value listed... "30". That's not "ft/lbs", which I'm guessing it what he looked at, and he stripped the backing nut. See the legend at the bottom, the last number listed in parenthesis is the "ft/lbs" value.
