2005 Mustang jacking points

I have searched this forum and cannot find a thread which shows the jacking points for use when using a floor jack for the rear of the car. Besides putting the floor jack under the rear differential, where else would be ok? I found a flat area just forward of where the lower control arms bolt to the frame and this flat area looks to be part of the frame (it has a threaded bolt hole as well). Anybody know if this location is good for a floor jack?

Thanks!

I think the manual says NOT to use the rear diff. as a jacking point so be careful.

the only reason not to use the punkin as a jacking point is you might catch an edge on the flimsy cover, than you got a leak.
Use a hardwood block on the jack plate, your good to go.
than of course always use jackstands under the axle tubes.

Yeah, I have a rubber piece on my jack plate and under the diff is fine.
