My i30 2012 1.4 CRDI GD just started making the clunking sound when turning left and right. Is the part number 56315-2k000fff the correct one?

I looked it up on Partsouq but it's not showing the coupling in the drawings.

Mine is from December 2012, and that is the reference number for the replacement part I purchased, which works perfectly in my car. Unfortunately, the link to the website where I purchased it is no longer valid.

Thanks for the quick reply. I'll buy one and replace it.
Only thing I noticed is that my car does not have the knee airbag. Hopefully it'll be the same part number.
Thanks!

Went to replace the coupler yesterday, but I can't see a way of removing the cross bolt at the back because it hits the brake pedal switch mount.
Has anyone had this issue? Do I need to remove the brake switch mount all together? Mine is a right hand drive.
