Best place to place axle stands or Jack stan's is either on the long chassis legs that run front to rear or under the front cross member itself. No chance of crushing anything unless your chassis legs are rotten. There is no need to touch anything on the front suspension to replace the sway bar bushes or linkage arms. Each of the sway bar bushes are held in place with a "U" bracket on to the chassis leg with two bolts each. Remove these bolts and the sway bar will just swing loose as long as the wheels are off the ground and the suspension is extended. Change the bushes and swing it back up in to place. If you are changing the drop links then with the sway bar loose the linkages will easily unbolt and can be changed. You do have to have both front wheels off the ground as if you only have one then the sway bar will be under tension.
