Were the F-sport sway noise issues fixed

I am waiting as well. My car is at 49k and I have an extended warranty but the warranties never cover rattles and squeaks. I am probably going to take her in one more time next week to have this buzzing noise I have in the door and to take a look at maybe putting some felt tape underneath the bushing.
Supposedly they were looking into designing a new sway bar bushing but I am not holding my breath. My F Sport sway bars rattle and my intake makes absolutely no noise whatsoever ................. WTF!!!!!! I am not happy with my F sport parts.

When I go on the website for ZF-sport, included in the description are "Special high durometer dry lube impregnated rubber bushings to maintain a quiet ride on the street. 75 durometer hardness"
Is this new or did they say that when you guys bought yours?
Also is this worthwhile if you already have AVS?

Jreby95 (Club Lexus Member), states that TRD was working on a fix back in August. See his post:

I had my bushing replaced and it solved 90% of the problem. Its rare but its still there. I think many other owner have the same issue but dont realize it because its relatively subtle and they probably drive on crappier roads than what I have here in AZ (perfect roads) so they are used to the knocks that come with poor road surface

i wonder if the "best" solution would be to get aftermarket bushings to go with the sways? seems like the wrong way to go about it (spending more money for something that should be right in the first place), but i don't know what other solution we can go with if lexus ignores the problem?

In have had a 80-90% drop in the frequency of the noise but its still there. New bushings will at least help. The new redesigned set would really be nice. I think its a shame that Toyota doesnt stand by these new sway bars. The fix is not rocket science. They need to get it together.

The noise is worse in colder weather. I'm extremely disappointed with this mod. If the knocking goes away in the warmer weather, I'll be fine.
Problem is, Toyota/Lexus have more pressing issues right now...highly doubt they're working on fixing these right now.

They should be working on it. There's no reason for the F-sport development team to be working on the pedal recall or the Prius issue.
