F20 Steering rack repair kit - unavailable?

Greetings all,

I have an issue with light knock coming from the steering (rack, column or whatever). After reading through many posts regarding repair kits for BMW's in general, I did not find anything with my particular situation.

Realoem does show a kit available for my production 11/2016, 125i, but when I bought it, it is completely different.

I have found no kits that looked like mine (picture below, left one is from the steering rack and the right one is from the repair kit). I asked multiple parts shops and dealers and they confirmed that this does not have a repair kit.





Has anyone else had this? The big question and main problem is, what can I do now? I do have the knocking noise and several garages quoted me for a brand new steering rack and lower end of the steering column and I don't even wanna say how much it all costs.

Is this really the only way?

Any opinions on this would be greatly appreciated.
