Use your trolley jack under the diff.

Just wondering where to lift the rear of my WRX when using a trolley jack so I can swap the wheels.
Is it safe to jack from the diff?
The sills are protected by the side skirts, and I don't fancy placing the jack directly onto any of the suspension bushes.
Any suggestions?

LOL Dave TS
The best thing about using the rear diff is you can do both rear wheels with one jacking action (fnaarr).

Thanks Dave & Pete for your double act and your conflicting views!!
I'll stick the jack under the diff.
Cheers,
Dave.
