Default Sway bar control

I have a 2006 Lexus GS430 and need to put a new rack & pinion in. All the ones I am seeing online are for vehicles with electric steering and without sway bar control......how do I know if my vehicle has sway bar control or not when ordering a new rack & pinion?

Can anyone help me??

Probably best to phone your local lexus dealer and give them your vin number. Ask them for the part number, and from there you can cross reference the difference or the parts guy may know the difference.

Maybe it has to do with apsss (active power stabilizer suspension system) maybe you can crawl under your car and look at your front swaybar. If it is a standard swaybar then you dont have the apsss, I think it has some sort of torsion motor attached to the center of the bar, that senses a vehicles turn and adjusts the suspension. Pretty sure it is a super rare option

Active stabilizer suspension was available on 2007 GS430 and 2008-2011 GS460 in North America.

2006 GS430's and GS300/350's did not offer the option.
