I am looking to change the discs on my E240 (1998).

Can anyone advise me of the best location to support the W210 when using axle stands?

I intend to use a trolley jack under the "jacking point" but I am reluctant to use this as the only form of support.

Any assistance would be much appreciated!

Use an axle stand under the bottom wishbone, but place it as near as possible to the chassis members as possible, lower the trolley jack a touch to see if the stand is secure, then work using both

I place an axle stand on one of the wishbone joints with the chassis. The other is strategically placed to help support the brake caliper so as not to strain the brake pipes (even though its ties up as well).
