Keep your A/C system dry and protected with the Four Seasons A/C Accumulator with Hose Assembly / A/C Refrigerant Suction Hose 55609. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications: the 1982-1985 Ford Thunderbird, 1983-1985 Lincoln Continental, 1984-1985 Lincoln Mark VII, 1989 Mazda MX-6, and 1982-1985 Mercury Cougar (see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine details).
The accumulator / filter drier sits on the suction side and acts as a filter, removing moisture and contaminants from the air conditioning system — contaminants that flushing cannot remove, which is why replacing the unit is essential during service.
Desiccant drying: Moisture absorption is handled by an internal desiccant bag; a leaking or "open" system can saturate the bag within a few hours and make the unit ineffective.
Leak-free construction: Quality welds are used for a durable, leak-free design, paired with high-quality desiccant for appropriate absorption.
Installation hardware: Necessary gaskets, O-rings and seal are included for easier installation.
Backed by experience: Produced in an ISO/TS16949 & ISO14001 certified facility, drawing on over 50 years of mobile A/C experience.
Replacing the accumulator / filter drier is required to validate compressor warranty and should be done anytime the system is serviced. This part is listed under both the accumulator-with-hose and suction-hose names.
