Default Are those points safe to use as jack points?
I was just wondering if anyone ever had any problems using the front subframe and the rear differential bracket as a jack point. I am particulary concerned with the rear diff bracket or the rear diff cracking but some have done it w/o any problems.

The rear diff brack better be able to support the weight of the car.

I always jack from the front subframe. I've seen pics of cracked rear diffs from jacking though.
