If you jack it properly, and dont take shortcuts, you dont have to be careful.
One less step just so you can do both sides at once.
Lazy forkers....

Except for the critical fact we aren't talking about jacking up a fender.

The diff will be fine if you're careful.

I jack mine from the pumpkin all the time. No problem. Whats up with that diff cover that comes all the way down to the housing?? My swaybar is somewhat in the way but you can see that I have about 1/2-1'' clearance between the cover and housing bottom.

My take is that the car slid and the jack caught that lip...

Those 5.0 Capris were cool.
