Default Rear Shocks!

So im driving to school today and i hear a pretty good thump, i pull over look underneith and sure enough my rear shock came undone from the top. This happened before with my other shock and i was able to fix it, but not this time because the threads were takin right off while draggin on the road. So now i placed an order on a new one and it priced out to $50 bucks. Does anyone know of a way i can prevent this from happening again?
