Is it safe to jack FC's up by the rear diff casing?

As title really? It is on most cars, but not all (watched at this happed to a mate once!), so before I accidently put a jack through the alloy diff casing, I thought I best check!

Yeah, its fine, the FC diff is very strong, unlike the FD diffs lol :)

I Do it all the time and does no harm as long as you have got a fairly big jack head to spread the load.

Rear diff is listed in the red book as a jacking point, as is the front subframe :wave
