Default rear anti-sway bar

I put a Quickor rear anti-sway bar on my 68. The pivot brackets mount under the rear axle and the end links attach to brackets bolted to the frame rail in front of the axle. My question has to do with the impact of the end link brackets on the frame rail. They provided a 3/8" hardened bolt to pass through holes drilled in the frame rail and said to snug it up tight. It seems to me that after a while that the holes might start to elongate and/or possibly tear up the rail. Has anyone had any experience with this type of bar?
Thanks

Didn't it also come with poly bushings for the end links?

Never heard of anyone having a problem of the bolt elongating. I have had my rear anti-sway bar for over 20 years with no problems.

It should have. Otherwise, you'll be squeaking like a 52' Ford Pickup.

Yes it did come with poly bushings. I wasn't worried about the bolt elongating but the holes I drilled in the frame rail enlarging because the torque the end link generates would push the bolt up on the inside of the frame rail and down on the outside.
