Default Is the 2007 front sway bar different from 2008 on?

In looking around at sway bar bushings, I've come across multiple instances where bushings were described as fitting the 2007 Turbo, but not 2008 onward. In one case, a bushing was described as fitting all 997 Turbos except 2007. In multiple cases, the bushings were described as fitting many years of Carrera models and the 2007 Turbo--no mention of 2008 Turbos onward. What's up? A part number change? A change in the sway bar itself?

Yes. Different part number for bar and bushings. Bar for 07 = 997-343-703-08,
08 = 997-343-703-09

Thanks. Does anyone know why the part number changed--different specs, different supplier? Having never seen any discussion on this, my guess is a supplier change, or a minimal change in the part for some reason.
