first off, this is an OLD thread, and the situation is controlled with the OP, she's even rebuilt entirely the rear subframe...
secondly, you are WRONG!
the 124's differential has two very fragile mounts that will fail immediately if you jack with the diff...
however, there is a substantial steel crossmember behind the diff, that is safe to jack on.

I've owned numerous European cars, domestics, Japanese, and Korean imports. Done everything from changing clutches, removing drive lines, transfer cases, differentials, control arms, wheel assemblies, and replacing bushings, mounts, bearings, flex discs, ball joints, etc, etc....
And always have jacked it up from under the dif with no issues.
Different car, but this shows typical jacking points
