DESCRIPTION
NOTE: 3.7L LHD shown. 2.8L and RHD similar.
The A/C suction line (1) is the refrigerant line that carries refrigerant from the A/C evaporator (2) to the A/C accumulator (3), and then, to the A/C
compressor (4).
CAUTION: Use only the O-ring seals specified for the vehicle. Failure to use the correct O-ring seals will cause the refrigerant system connections to
leak.
The A/C suction lines have no serviceable parts except for the rubber O-ring seals. The O-ring seals used on the connections are made from a special
type of rubber not affected by R-134a refrigerant. The O-ring seals must be replaced whenever an A/C suction line is removed and installed.
If an A/C suction line is found to be leaking or is damaged, it must be replaced.
