**real** jack points (fixing, that is)

[Larry" <rocco16v@netzero.com (Larry)]

PB-
  I don't think the problem is so much bending an axle as putting stress on
the pivot points that they were not designed to cope with.
Normally all pivot stress is in a horizontal direction (fore/aft).  Lifting
the car by the axle puts the weight of the rear half of the car on the
pivots in a vertical direction.  May be okay, may not....
