New dampers fitted - is alignment required?

Followers

20 July, 201312 yr

I've just replaced my stock dampers with Bilstein B8's, been running with Eibach pro sport springs for 18 months or so with the stock dampers. I had the alignment checked when the lowered springs were fitted, do I need it doing again now I'm running the Eibach/Bilstein combination? The ride height seems slightly higher with the new dampers but I guess this will settle?

Appreciate your thoughts

Cheers

Brian

Center support bearing - prop shaft AWD

Hello everyone, Recently, I had to replace both the front and rear CV joints on the prop shaft due to vibrations coming from the AWD system. While inspecting the driveshaft, I noticed that the center support bearing (carrier bearing) is completely worn out and has excessive play in all directions. Has anyone here gone through the procedure of replacing the center support bearing on a Skoda Superb Mk3 2.0 TDI 4x4? Is the bearing available separately, or does it only come as part of the complete

ABS Sensor Issues

Hi, Not having much joy resolving my ABS issues. SKODA SUPERB (3V3) 2.0 TDI (110 kW / 150 hp), 2016, 150K miles ABS issues started with poor battery on start, battery has been replaced and coded, issue remains. Can see issue is with rear left, on my reader due to wheel speed being 1/3 the other wheels. Fault would appear after 25 meters of driving. Replaced rear left sensor and wheel bearing (magnetic ring mostly disintegrated). Now 0 wheel speed on rear left. 10.5 volts on FL, RR and RL

Does anyone have any views on how often you should get your air conditioning re-gassed?
