Default tahoe 2001 z71 problems

Hi, My name is sharjeel and I live in Qatar. I own Tahoe 2001 and 2008. They have not caused any problems until recently when Air conditioning of Tahoe 2001 model went down. There are only few mechanics of American vehicles here who are charging huge sum of money for taking down the dashboard after which they will check the leakage somewhere in condenser I believe, plus I don't want to take my car to the dealership as it's not worth it. Apart from that, I am also now experiencing vibration in steering,tires when taking sharp turns, it feels as If the tires are going to fall any moment.

I would really appreciate advise regarding these issues in my vehicle.

Pardon my poor use of Language and Grammar

Thanks.

Greetings Sharjeel welcome to the Forum.

I don't know what to tell you about your A/C. The Condenser would be the one out in front of your Radiator, the Evaporator is inside the cab.
Condensers can be removed and replaced with only a few bolts and lines connected to them. You may be able to do this yourself. Then have the system vacuumed and recharged.
If it's the Evaporator, that would require some extensive disassembly to get to, and given what you have said, I am unsure if you can do the Evaporator.
You might use the Internet or other resources, to see if there are other repair resources over in Saudi which may be cheaper.

On the Tire vibration/?...
Do you have a Four Wheel Drive ?
Could there be a Bent Rim or steering component ?
Have you had a Wheel Alignment recently ?
