I know of no real spots to put the jackstand except under the jacking pads. I always do both wheels in the air as I think the car will be more stable with 2 jackstands because the resting on on wheel actually makes the car shaky dues to the suspension. Please can the others can chime in here.
Also don't forget the 12 point hex drive. Study the new arms bolts supplied when you get them and you will know what you need. We don't doubt your ability, it just the safety issue.
Good luck again

Actually, it isn't my first time under the car. I changed the O2 sensor a couple of months ago, that's when I have jack stands from. But yeah, you can never be too careful about these things...... I promise, I'll be careful and have backup plans

Oh, and I wasn't able to get rear suspension parts this weekend cuz citywide MB dealers had issues with their system, so it's only going to be front tierods this weekend, rear thrust arms a couple weeks from now.
