Default F-Sport Swaybar Clunking Noise Fixed

Looked under the car and retightened loose nuts on the bushings. Problem solved. Probably my fault for not tightening sufficiently on the initial install. Anyone who has clunking noise, check your nuts and bolts.

My bushings were worn out. Called my Lexus dealership and ordered new ones. Cheaper then Sewell too. No clunking noise what so ever. I thought about getting rid of them. A 30k car and clunking... I'm good. It's not a sports car have one of those so I wouldn't of cared really but it fixed it.

I don't think it was a loose bolt problem....there were a LOT of people complaining about the clunking noise. So much so, that Lexus released a TSIB for them. The new bushings fixed the problem. It got much worse when the weather got colder.
