If you have the jack stands at the rear jack points, can you still get the subframe assembly loose? I think it's attached at the front right at those jack points, isn't it?

DO NOT pick up a 124 car by placing the floor jack under the differential!!!!!!!
This is fine for a solid rear axle car like a Ford or a Chevy, but the 124 and any other modern Benz has the differential mounted on rubber to the crossmember. Raising the car via the differential damages the rubber differential mounts and they are a B!+C# to replace!
