Do you have much history on this one? Is that scuffed up swash plate just normal wear and tear after 100,00 miles?

200,000 on that one. It also had about 3-4 years of no AC due to leak so it probably got some contamination too.

1/4 the cost of a new compressor

DKS15CH is the Zexel model number. Use DKS15CH to search for parts. You can find Santech parts for a lot less.
DKS15CH uses the same front seal as DKS13G & DKS15BH.

From Johnica.com in Taiwan

I wonder what these cost in low quantity? I could refurbish this 1999 2000 AC for under $50 it’s worth more than a junkyard one.

Front seal is Santech MT2043 you can get one at Autozone for $12.99.

I’d buy a few swash plates, if there’s a minimum order from Taiwan.

I’ve sent an email to Taiwan to see their distribution model

I have another AC compressor which is growly that I can recondition

I think sharing shipping costs will be the key. It’s about $100 to bring an small package from Taiwan to US
