Default 2004 LX470 - 300k Miles...Need Advice

So I'll preface by saying, I drive about 4,000 miles per month. My plan is to drive this baby until she gives up.

I just recently had the valve cover gaskets replaced as well as the timing belt/water pump service. The front axles are slinging grease and I've been told they need to be replaced. Now my a/c won't blow cold.

Can someone tell me The "symptoms" I should notice from axles being completely shot?

Any guesses as to what can be causing the a/c to not blow cold? Could it simply be cabin filter?

IS SHE DYING ON ME BOYS?

could be the AC compressor is out or there is no more freon from a leak in the lines. You can take it to your mechanic to test the system if there is pressure.
