A/C Condenser Install?

[bwimsett]

I have a 2006 Jeep Wrangler the A/C started not to blow cold anymore. So I took it to the shop to get a quote and find what was wrong with it. So they found that the A/C condenser was leaking pretty bad. They wanted $1000 to fix replace just the condenser. I thought I would just do it myself. My question is what condenser should I get? I was thinking this Aluminum one from Napa I'll link it below. How much oil do I need to add to my A/C if I only replace the Accumulator and Condenser? And the o rings of course.

The factory service manual has the procedure and oil specifications in the resources section. Take a look and give it a read.

You might want to consider replacing the receiver drier and throwing an o-ring kit on all the fittings.

Check your radiator when you've got the condenser out.

I've had mostly good luck with Napa.

Might want to check Rock Auto for prices...but the shipping usually kills it for me.
