Question Possibly broken AC? Not sure

Hi all,

As summer rolls around I've been using my AC more. The AC unit seems to be blowing cold air on driver side faster than on passenger side. It is a noticeable difference between the temperatures and the passenger side doesn't end up getting as cold as the driver. I have the same climate control settings for both (no individual temperature).

Is this normal? Might look into replacing AC since I still have a lot of life left in the car. It is a 2006 Lexus IS250 MT w/ 87k miles.

You may want to check water pump for leaks, ive had similar problem and found my water pump was about to say good bye.

You can run an A/C diagnostic on the unit. For navigation, and non nav. I just can't remember the buttons to use. Do a search on it. It will run the servos maybe one is not opening, or closing.

Thanks for pointing this out. My gut says this is the issue. Sometimes I hear a faint water running sounds when I run my AC.
