A couple of years ago this was a hot topic for about a week or two. If
memory serves, I sounded to me like the group consensus was that it was OK
to use the Diff as a jack point to get the car up far enough to set the
jackstands under the frame. A few people were concerned about the stress
on the Diff bolts, etc, but others scoffed at the possible problems, stating
as proof the amount of stress a diff goes through just driving to the store.
I know the all knowing british wrencher around KC uses the diff in just the
way I described, because he did it on my car when the diff was rebuilt.
