Keep your air conditioning system dry and protected with the Four Seasons A/C Accumulator with Hose Assembly / A/C Refrigerant Suction Hose (MPN 55628). It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 1988 Ford Thunderbird, 1988 Mercury Cougar and 1988 Ford Cougar — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level details.

The accumulator/filter drier acts as a filter, removing moisture and contaminants from the A/C system — debris that flushing cannot clear — which is why replacing it during service is important. Moisture is absorbed through an internal desiccant bag; a leaking or open system can saturate that bag within hours, leaving the unit ineffective.

  • Integrated hose assembly: combines the accumulator with the refrigerant suction hose for the listed applications.
  • Desiccant absorption: a desiccant bag draws moisture out of the circulating refrigerant.
  • Quality welds: feature a durable, leak-free design.
  • Installation hardware: the necessary gaskets, o-rings and seal are included.

Four Seasons recommends replacing the accumulator/filter drier any time the A/C system is opened for service, and notes replacement is required to validate compressor warranty. Backed by over 50 years of mobile A/C experience.
