A/C and ball joints costs

[bigblueyes64]

Hello everyone, very new to the forum. I am trying to find out the approximate cost of fixing an A/C that is blowing warm, what is it usually, and at what mileage do they start to go? and ball joints, should ball joints be replaced at 90000 or 100000? Is their somwhere online to see a mileage maintenance chart? Thanks

Welcome to this forum! Test the ball joints for excessive play. As for the A/C, check the pressure of the system to see if it's normal. You might have a blend door issue if the pressure checks out OK.

"blend door issue" - an issue with the blend door?

I believe the blend door is the door that directs air either through the A/c Direction giving you cold air, or through the heater core giving you warm air. when that is broken it'll no longer act normally, meaning where ever it broke is what your'e stuck with. you can either fix this, or replace it. my father had this issue, and this helped him fix it.

good luck
