Spiring noise when turning steering

My 2010 Polo has developed what sounds like a banging or springing noise when I turn the steering. Only happens when I go from straight to right and only makes it once.

Boot lock - replacement - part and source

My boot lock needs replacing. I was wondering if anyone knows

a. the part number
b. whether there are any decent non Vw replacements around.

I have seen various ones on the internet but would rather use a 'brand' that others have used on here.

any suggestions appreciated.
