I saw in a prior post illustrating a drive shaft installation that the car was jacked up by the universal housing. The manual illustration doesn't indicate this as a jack point. Is there any real harm in doing so if you place jack stands under the axle and take the load off the universal housing while working on the car?

You can put a floor jack under the differential housing as long as the "cup" of the jack doesn't touch the rear cover. I installed my aluminum drive-shaft yesterday and used this method.
