Im not quite understanding how the car lifted itself off the jackstands? because I have done this job when I changed my W124 balljoints and put a jackstand under the control arm near the balljoint - The entire front of the cars weight was on the jackstands under the control arms.

did you not lower the car onto the jackstands?
