Default Re: Jacking up the car?

Okay, I need a little help here...The other day, my low tire pressure light came on so I decided to check the pressure. I removed 3 of the 4 cap fairly easily, but the fourth (rear passenger side tire) wouldn't budge so I decided to take a pair of pliers and remove the last one (I know, not smart). Well, one quick twist and the valve stem broke off about half way down and needless to say, the air came out in a hurry. Today, I ordered a new stem and sensor from the dealer and they are going to fix the problem.

Tonight, I jacked up my car to take the tire off, but I couldn't find a good place to put a stand underneath the car. Right now, the car is on the jack and the stand is on the axle(?). Is this a safe place for the stand? If not, where should I place the stand. The car will be on the jack all day tomorrow, so I put the stand underneath for safety reasons, but if the jack fails, I don't want to cause any more problems. Please help. Thanks.
