I just really have no idea what that shaft/pin thing sticking out of the bottom of the AE86's strut is. As for the rear camber, I don't know enough about a solid axle's geometry to know even if they need it. But I have heard of circle track guys going to elaborate measures to get a bit of rear camber. For these two reasons I've stayed away from AE86s. I don't know enough about the funny struts and solid axles.

well rear camber usually is just adds grip on rear tires but the solid axles cars also have a way to add extra grip on the rear, like traction brackets. heres a pic from a forum member,its the silver bracket I have one also. |

The part that confuses me looks like a shaft for the wheel bearings.
I'm used to seeing struts like this: In this design the wheel bearings are in the upright. As for the rear camber it reduces loss (or increases depending on the starting camber) of grip as the car rolls. But both tires on a sold axles are rigidly linked to each other so I'm assuming the behavior is different that what I'm used to.

It's same thing why Viper still using that 80's pos heavy cast-iron pushrod v10 instead of upgrading their engine & put some technology into it. |

It does great on the track, the solid rear axle. But independant is better for bumbs in the corners.

Totally different than old-school steel multi-leaf springs used to locate solid axles. The 'Vette's are transverse mounted and made out of composite materials. I don't fully understand why when there are perfectly good coils available, but they are pretty advanced and the 'Vettes handle pretty damn good.
