Face Lake is a high elevation lake ( 5200' ) which has a few cabins and the Mile High Resort on it. It is about 20 km from the Logan Lake exit on...

Rear end problems L400 Space Gear

I have a 1996 Delica L400 Space Gear and the rear right axle is frozen but the left side turns. Calipers have been removed, so it's not brakes.
I can drive the van forward and backward, but the right rear wheel drags, left turns no problem. WTF?

Checked the frame for rust yet? Common spots are the frame below the batteries, as well as above the rear bump stops.

If you still really want it get her checked out by a good mechanic in your area.
