Some A/C system components are being replaced only because the garter springs in the spring lock coupling cages are missing. If these components are otherwise not faulty, they should not be replaced; the missing parts should simply be installed. Replacement spring or O-ring part numbers are listed in the Parts catalog and should be used in these situations.
Listed below are garter spring and O-ring part numbers currently available.
