Can you jack up the Chim rear end under the differential ?

[Andy JB]

As above - can this be achieved safely as a trolley jack point or axle stands after raising? Not going underneath only wheel arch access.

[Prizam]

Yes. But i wouldn't! Wont do your diff / mounts any good at all.

Not sure I get the diff mount argument?.. lifting the back end you are lifting 400 KG may be over 3 mounts... what do these mounts see with 300 bhp plus going through them?.. a lot more than the forces from lifting I thinks.....
still... unless to spread to force on the diff (after all its a casting)by using a sand bag or something... It would not be my first choise to jack from

[rigga]

Industry standard to jack under the diff, as said the ammount of load going through the mounts whilst driving the car will be more stresssfull than just lifting the car that way.
Would also prefer to raise the car centrally rather than jacking up on the corner plates of the outriggers,
