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.
Hi, I'm Fred from Italy. I'm owner of a series 1 116d.
Sorry if I get an old tread back, but I wanted to ask vladine how he did to remove the bushing, the one I have has no grip to do it.
