Do I need to flush the AC system before installing this condenser?

Flushing is recommended to remove old oil and debris from the old unit. Most shops will do this as part of the swap — factor it into your labor if you're DIY-ing it. Your service manual will outline the proper procedure.

Will I need to recharge the system after installation?

Yes. Once the new condenser is bolted in place, the system must be evacuated and recharged with fresh refrigerant. This requires a certified AC recovery machine — not a DIY job without proper equipment.

What mounting hardware do I need?

The condenser mounts at factory rocker points using the existing bolts from your old unit. Bring those fasteners with you — new hardware is not included. Test-fit first to confirm bolt condition before reassembly.
