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.
Do you have the part number for the new bushing? or should I just contact Darrel directly?
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

just tell your dealership the noise is coming from the sway bars and you want them replaced. the parts that come will be a fresh new set of bushings. This will fix the issue

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.
