Compressor runs but sounds like it is a rock tumbler. Air gets slightly cool, but definitely not cold. I have rear A/C as well. I have reason to suspect the compressor is shot, did leak test with dye and compressor shows dye. Do I need to replace any other components of the system aside from compressor, before recharging?

Good afternoon,

Yes, you need to replace the receiver dryer and the expansion valve. They are common to replace when you have a compressor failure.

Thank you for confirming my suspicions. As well as letting me know about changing the other parts to prevent another failure.
