A/C issue-90 all of a sudden!
Well, this forum sure helped me with the Teflon stub axle and bearing issue, instaed of replacing unneeded new u joints, people here suggested I replace the washer and the creaking noise is gone, runs like a top now 
but,
my a/c stopped , blows hot, I had it recharged yesterday, blew cold, two hours later, hot.
How could a leak develop that fast, all season it blew cold cold up til now???????????????????????????????????

That certainly does appear to be a leak. Only thing is a leak of that magnitude should be easy to spot. Who recharged it? If it's leaking that bad it won't draw down a vacuum. While it is possible there were two issues and now it's something else like the blend doors as said, it did get cold after recharge. I would have the shop put dye in it to find the leak although a two hour leak should be obvious(oil accumulation,hissing noise) or such.Freon is expensive even R134 you don't want to keep that up.

This might sound dumb, but is the clutch engaging? If the rubber hub on the compressor is bad, it can make you think there is a problem someplace else because it will look like the compressor is turning, when in reality, it isn't.
My 96 did that to me. I could see and hear the clutch engage, but it blew hot air. Drove me crazy until I actually stuck my head down there and saw that the bolt that goes into the compressor shaft WASN'T spinning even though the compressor clutch was.

I got in it two hours later , boiling hot air. Blend doors, not too familiar with that.But I called there, now I have to drop it off, no car again, that's one day at a time for each issued.
Radio, stub washers, now AC.
That's it ,no other issue.
