I had my F-Sport Sway bars installed @ the lexus dealership. And I have the knocking noise (From what I can tell from the Front Passanger wheel).. What do I do now

Kinda feels like the wheel is loose or something

Take it back to the dealership. What year and model is your car? Is it one of the ones that the Fsport equipment was advertised for? If so then it should be covered under the warranty?
Sorry to hear your experiencing this also.

Same thing I'm feeling. It gets worse and worse. I'm taking it back next week to have them look at it. I'm glad I had Lexus install it that way is covered undewr warranty. Is your's a GS350 AWD ?

could you check your lexus invoice and see if it included new end links? that would answer the question whether the noise is coming from end links or not.

Im not even pushing it. Just driving through light uneven roads or small speed bumps will cause the knocking.. (going STRAIGHT)

Exact same problem here, still no solution. But I have a GS460 - so Lexus claims incompatibility.

that sounds pretty serious if you aren't even pushing the car hard. did you hear if it's from the front or rear? maybe get someone ouside and try to get more accurate place where this happens (endlinks or bushings, etc...)

I think we may need to compile a list of the issue soon. Are they 350s too? Or just 430s and 460s?

I'm ordering mine soon so I can help out firsthand.

All of them are having problems...but, there are all successes as well (except for the 460).

Every GS Owner that has had the Sways installed (that has posted here) is experiencing that noise with the exception of I8ABMR and we are waiting for Mike (passnu2) to complete his install to see what his outcome will be. I think it's a bigger issue than just compatibility since there are many 350 experiencing this. Lexus this sucks

I just started an "official" Fsport Sway noise thread... I suggest that everyone with issues, and even those without, VOTE so that we can collect and submit the data to Lexus for support...
