Where is there a better jack point in the middle of the car from the rear? I'm aware of the 4 jack pads on the side of the car. Never had a problem jacking off the diff if jack is centered.

I believe what you meant to say was "jacking up"

In all seriousness, the rear subframe just in front of the diff is the place to jack it up. Unless jacking off cars is your thing...

Can't really tell. Just jack it form the brace in the future, and Tom will make sure nothing was broken yet. It's probably fine, people jack by the diff all the time... they just shouldn't
