The Challenger 16160 replacement part is the direct replacement for the Challenger lift it came off of. Cross-referenced as ALS-7233-07, it is the genuine Challenger part — same part number, same fit, and same working specification as the one already on your lift. Ordering the Challenger replacement part from us gets you the OEM piece that matches the lift, not an aftermarket knock-off that is close but not the same.
Specifications
- Part number: ALS-7233-07
- Brand: Challenger
- Type: Genuine OEM replacement part
Do the math on a dead lift bay: a bay that bills steadily is producing hundreds of dollars a day, and the part holding it hostage is very often something small. That is the real cost equation on lift parts — not the price on this page, but the days between failure and repair. The shops that feel it worst are the ones that wait until a part strands a vehicle in the air on a Friday. Keeping the known wear items on hand, or ordering them the day symptoms show up, keeps a twenty-dollar part from charging you a week’s rent on the bay it shut down.

Confirm this is the right part before you order
Lift manufacturers revise parts mid-production without changing the model name, so the same lift bought two years apart can take two different revisions of the same component. Before you order, find the model plate on the lift — on most 2-post lifts it rides on one of the columns at eye level, on 4-post lifts it is usually on a column or the power-unit side runway — and note the full model number and serial. The serial dates the lift to a production run, and that is what decides which revision fits.
If the plate is painted over or missing, take a photo of the part you are replacing next to a tape measure and send it to us. Between the dimensions, the mounting pattern, and what lift it came off of, we can almost always identify the exact part before you spend money on the wrong one.
While the lift is already apart, replace what is on the same clock. Parts that wear together should be replaced together — the labor of opening the lift up is the expensive half of the job, and doing it twice for two parts that could have shipped in one box is the most common money leak in lift maintenance. Check the mating parts, the hardware, and anything you had to disturb to get here.
Downtime pressure is exactly when shortcuts happen — the temporary fix, the not-quite-right part, the lock that gets bypassed for one job. Do not let a busy schedule talk you into running a lift in a condition you would flag on someone else’s equipment.

About this 16160 finishing plug
The 16160 finishing plug is a direct-fit replacement engineered to restore original manufacturer performance on the lift model it services. Every piece we ship carries the exact dimensional and material specifications the OEM published for that application. Fitment on this component is critical: it interfaces with adjacent hardware in ways that any deviation from spec can drive premature wear on nearby parts or trigger the lift's mechanical safety systems into an unexpected condition. Shops that source this from us instead of a generic aftermarket substitute consistently report zero fitment issues on first-time installation.
Technical specification & installation notes
Cycle life on this piece depends heavily on operating conditions. In a typical commercial repair shop running 6-10 lifts per day, the 16160 finishing plug should deliver five to eight years of service before showing measurable wear against the OEM inspection specification. In a high-volume tire or alignment shop running 20+ lifts per day per bay, expect service every three to five years. It is designed to be a serviceable component; when it does wear it wears within safe operating margins that trigger visible symptoms — drift, uneven wear, minor leakage — well before failure becomes a safety issue.
Shipping & ordering
Shipping runs 3-5 business days on standard ground to the lower 48 states. Expedited overnight and two-day options are available; call 800-674-9302 before ordering to quote expedited freight. We stock the 16160 finishing plug in Iowa and ship same-day for orders confirmed before 2 PM Central. Orders that come in later than that or on a Friday afternoon pick up on the next business day. A tracking number gets emailed to the address on the order the moment the package leaves our dock.
Warranty coverage
Consumables and wear parts like this are covered under the manufacturer defect warranty for twelve months. Because the 16160 finishing plug is a component that eventually needs replacement in normal operation, warranty coverage specifically addresses failure due to manufacturing defect, not failure due to normal end-of-life wear. Our team can help distinguish between the two on a phone call if there is any question after installation — call 800-674-9302 and describe the failure pattern; we will tell you honestly whether it looks like a warranty case.
Cross-reference & fitment
Cross-reference on the 16160 finishing plug is straightforward: match the OEM part number from the lift's parts breakdown against the number on your original invoice. If the numbers match, the component fits. If your lift's parts breakdown lists a superseded or alternate number, we accept the superseded value on the phone as confirmation of fit. When a manufacturer has issued a running change during production, we track the change in our catalog so ordering by the older number automatically pulls the current-spec replacement.
