Detailed Description

Global Parts System Service Kits are built as a service-focused solution for A/C repairs, combining the receiver drier with related metering and sealing components in one application-specific kit. For 1997-1998 Ford Taurus, 1997-1998 Ford Sable, and 1997-1998 Mercury Sable models, part number 9431946 supports a more complete HVAC service by addressing the receiver drier and associated system parts commonly replaced during A/C work. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Moisture contamination in the A/C system
• Restricted refrigerant flow through a worn receiver drier
• Improper metering from a tired expansion device or orifice tube
• Seal leakage at service points after system opening
• Incomplete HVAC repair when related service parts are replaced separately

Installation Notes and Tips

Replace the receiver drier kit during A/C system service after compressor failure, line replacement, or any repair that exposes the system to air and moisture. Verify the vehicle application before installation, and confirm the existing hose and liquid line configuration on Ford Taurus, Ford Sable, or Mercury Sable models to match the listed notes for part number 9431946.

Quality Assurance

Global Parts System Service Kits are organized as application-specific HVAC service kits for direct vehicle coverage on the listed Ford and Mercury models. The kit format helps streamline parts selection for A/C repair work on 1997-1998 Taurus and Sable platforms.
