Do I need a new receiver-drier or refrigerant when I swap this in?

A new receiver-drier is recommended whenever you open the AC system to prevent moisture contamination. Your system will need an evacuation and recharge after installation — have a shop handle this with proper equipment.

Will this bolt straight to my car, or do I need custom brackets?

Factory mounting points line up directly — no brackets or fabrication needed. Use the original fasteners and bolt it in place where the old condenser was mounted.

What if the condenser arrives damaged or doesn't cool properly?

Inspect the unit immediately upon arrival for shipping damage. If cooling performance drops after install, verify that the system was properly evacuated and recharged by a certified technician before assuming a condenser defect.
