I tend to agree with this. The sway bar is almost always under some amount of bind. THe left and right side due to weight differences etc. will never be perfectly level that the bar wouldn't be activated to some degree.
If the bar has been pulled out of it's frame mount, this suggests that not only was the sway bar bound up pretty good, but it's likely got forces that are pulling it down and possibly pulling or pushing on it as well. The frame mounts are designed to hold the bar in place and let it twist, not to be yanked on.
As far as fixing that, a nut cert is typically a good approach, it'll be much stronger than the small bit of threads in the frame itself.
