I was just wondering if the Diff was designed to lift the car. There's a nub on the diff that looks like a jack would fit snugly. Infact, my jack does fit great. I've lifted it by the diff before, but is this safe?

 

safe for the diff or safe for the person goin under? ...

for the person NO ... always use jackstand ...

if your worried about crackin the diff, its safe ... after you reach the height you wanted, just put jackstands each side and remove the jack

never lift from the diff. its NOT a lift point by no means. thats like saying hey is it alright if i lift my car by the exhaust . dang

 

i dont think the manual states its a lifting point, even though i think it should be fine occasionally i wouldn't do it often.

 

yes it is... http://www.s2ki.com/forums/ind...53446

yeah i always use jackstands, i just didnt wanna damage the diff getting the car up there. I have a large pad jack...so concentrating the force onto a small portion of the diff isnt a problem.

Thanks for the person who posted the S2Ki link with the diagrams saying to lift by the diff. lol diagrams make me feel better because they look so official.

Also, for the guy that said that you should NEVER lift by the diff: most RWD vehicles are able to be lifted by the diff. The S2K is a special case most everywhere else, and the diff has a "weakass" reputation, and it's suspended by bushings, so i figured i'd ask.

Wow.....a bit worked up aren't we? It is perfectly fine to jack up the car from the diff it will not hurt anything one bit. As far as it being a "lill ***** *** diff" well it may not be bulletproof on the inside but I would challege you to find one that has ever been damaged by a jack.

Jacking by the diff is fine, but it shouldn't rest on it for safety reasons. Use jack-stands after you jack the car up.

Apparently having your ASE doesn't mean much these days Remind me to never go to whatever the hell dealership you work at; If it even exists.

And btw, I don't like it. So will be leaving now.

 

haha dont bring your car to the dealership i will expletive it up

 

What dealership? Got a phone number? I need to call and ask about something.

Does anyone know if this Sears jack will fit under the front bumper of a lowered (say 1") S2K? I have a fairly expensive low profile floor jack (saddle only 2" off the ground) but to reach the front lift point the whole jack has to go under the car and at that point the top of the jack's body is just barely clearing the bumper. If I lower my car I'm never going to be able to get my current jack under there. I don't want to be driving up on ramps just to fit a floor jack. How do you all get your S2K on 4 jack stands?
