AE86 does NOT use a "solid axle".</td></tr></table><span id='postcolor'>
true. &nbsp;the axle housing is solid but there are 2 separate axle shafts inside the axle housing that connect to the differential inside the pumpkin. &nbsp;this just changes the way the suspension is setup. &nbsp;

i had to replace a rear end on my .. crashed ae86. &nbsp;i bought the car for $500 before i had my 240 for the sole reason of drifting. &nbsp;i only hit a curb once, which snapped a rotor in half. &nbsp;3 days and $110+$4 [axle and gear lube] later, i had a new lsd rear end in. &nbsp;i didn't bother to connect the rear brakes and one night while grip driving in this one way street system with lots of tight blind corners, i came up to a corner at 80, locked up the brakes on pavement wet from sprinklers and hit the guardrail at 35[?] &nbsp;i i lost a headlight, hood, powersteering, a mirror, and the A pillar was horribly dented. &nbsp;i figured this would be my last night driving it, so i stuck my head out the window and did a few final drifts before i took an extremely back way to my house and parted it out.
