Product Details

The Short Compressor Replacement Kit line is aimed at restoring service on vehicles that retain R-12 refrigerant systems and fixed orifice configurations, making it a direct-match option for targeted HVAC repair work. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Common Repair Uses

• Replacing a worn or failed A/C compressor assembly
• Addressing weak cabin cooling on R-12 system vehicles
• Correcting compressor noise or seizure-related A/C failure
• Restoring operation after compressor contamination in the system
• Servicing Ford Ranger, Ford Explorer, and Mazda truck/SUV A/C systems with the listed configuration

Installation Notes

Verify the vehicle’s refrigerant type, orifice setup, and build date before ordering. For the 1991 Ford Explorer application, confirm the vehicle is built on or before 03/01/1991. The fitment notes also recommend replacing the condenser with a new condenser during service. Match the listed configuration details exactly to the vehicle before installation.
