Part Description
This A/C air compressor was removed from a 2009 Subaru Tribeca equipped with the 3.6L engine. The compressor has been thoroughly inspected by our technicians and is currently on the shelf ready for immediate shipment. This OEM part shows normal wear consistent with its age but maintains full functionality.
The A/C compressor is the heart of your vehicle’s air conditioning system, pressurizing refrigerant to create cold air. Common reasons for replacement include clutch failure, internal seal leaks, bearing noise, or compressor seizure. When your A/C stops blowing cold air or makes grinding noises, the compressor is often the culprit requiring replacement.
