Stand by... most likely if you had it installed at a Lexus dealership it'll get handled by the (up and coming) TSB...

Here's the latest I received just yesterday evening - 2006 GS 300, 2007-2010 GS 350 (2WD) : F-Sport Front Sway Bar Thump Noise.

For those of you who are out of warranty, meaning if you purchased your sway bars but installed them yourself (or by your trusted mechanic), then email me directly at lexus@sewellparts.com. I'll verify your purchase from us for the F-Sport Sway bars, then I'll create an online order on your behalf and have the transaction covered under our Lexus warranty. Please register first!. This will assist me in assuring us I send the bushings to the right place. We will not bill you or charge you for the cost of the bushings - consider it Goodwill.

Any questions, use the specific email links.

False.

F-Sport sways are available for both AWD and RWD versions.

Yes, there are applications for both RWD and AWD versions. There's only bushing option (PTR02-30100) so I'm assuming the bars are the same diameter, but its going to be in the brackets that the bushing may potentially be the issue. The front sway bar brackets are different. I have no idea if AWD GS owners have had the same thumping issue as RWD GS owners. I just don't know.

By the picture below, one can easily assess the height difference in the F-Sport sway bar bushing. It's approximately a 2mm difference in height between the two.


The newly designed bushings have a "ZD" stamp whereas the old (original) design shows an "AB".

talked to mine today. he actually told me he had already seen this TSIB, but assured me that the AWD would be a separate TSIB (if at all). i would assume the RWD are available now.
