Just forward of the purple line. The cast iron part the the differential housing (black section) is the center jacking point for the rear of the chassis. The aluminum cover (sliver part) of the differential is not the the jacking point of the diff.

Well, I didn't want to use central jacking point at the front, so I lifted my car from one of the (front) side jacking points, and then I decided to place a jack stand at the front. Now the side jack pad is busy. So, I need an advice for the alternative jacking point under the car.
