Absolutely NEVER jack up the back of the car at the differential!!!! Not 
only can you damage the mount (Steele has had chronic problems with this 
- they send out warnings with new mounts and it still doesn't do any 
good) but it also stresses  the bell housing and other powertrain 
components - Those parts we NOT designed to bear the weight of the rear 
of the car. Lon
