I didnt know they have the new bushing. Been waiting to install my sways. Do you know if Sewell will be shipping out the new bushing to all those have bought them? Or would you have to ask for them?

Per Darrel's request, I dropped my car off at Sewell's service dept. this morning. No definitive news yet, but they just informed me that they are "talking with Lexus" and are aware that the gap (not related to install) is an issue. Perhaps they will come up with a quick solution (introduce a spacer?), so I'd hold off until they claim to have resolved this issue.
Thanks,

I have driven the car for 150 miles so far and so far so good. No clunking so far. I still have the stock sway bar in case there is an issue, but I really think they nailed it with the new bushing. The strange thing is that with the new bushing the car actually feels like it rides better

Thanks for the info. I am happy to know there will be a redesigned bushing. In the mean time a fresh set seemed to do the trick for me. I will ask again in a few months about the new bushing.

The bushings are now on the way. There's VERY limited availability in the country so while we have them on the way, there's going to be backorders occurring. THis shouldn't be too much of an issue since it's already been 9 months for the most of you with these bars.
Let it be known, ALL old stock has been removed from our inventory.
We will also be visually comparing the old bushings form the new bushings as well as installing them locally to verify the fix.
We'll know more very shortly.
You can email me directly if you have any specific questions: ddiller@sewell.com or lexus@sewellparts.com

The part number is the same as it was before: PTR02-30100. What you need to know is the new bushings have "ZD" mark on the bushing whereas as the old bushings have an "AB" mark. ALL OLD STOCK IS BEING REMOVED FROM INVENTORIES.
Here's the TSiB just released. Click here

i am sure some members would be interested to know. if someone has sways that he/she purchased used from others, i supposed they are still subject to exchange for new bushings?
