have you tried Urethane bushings in there?

if installed correctly i'm not sure why the OEM or similar bushings would be wearing out or giving out. maybe the material of the aftermarket bushings are not as good as the Honda OEM. if you want it to last for a very long time, then try the Energy Suspension bushings or Prothane, etc.

do you have traction bars or get LOTS of wheels hop. Is you suspension bent at all? If you have access to a press i would look at poly bushings!
good luck

Are you remembering to torque it only once it's on the ground or are you tightening and tourquing while the vehicle is in the air?
That'll rip it for sure.
