The Challenger 17112 replacement hardware is the direct replacement for the Challenger lift it came off of. Cross-referenced as ALS-7233DX-1148, 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 hardware 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-7233DX-1148
- Brand: Challenger
- Type: Genuine OEM replacement hardware
On lift hardware, fit is the whole job. A pin is not a rod of roughly the right diameter — it is a specific length, a specific fit in its bore, and a specific way of being retained, whether that is an e-clip groove, a cotter key hole, or a shoulder. A bushing is a precise interference in its housing and a precise clearance on its shaft. Manufacturer-spec hardware carries all of those dimensions; the hardware-aisle stand-in carries some of them, and the missing ones become play, wobble, and premature wear. This is a spec-correct replacement for the assembly it belongs to — it goes in the way the original came out, retained the way the original was retained.

Not sure this fits? Here's how to check
Pull the number off your lift's model plate first — model and serial both. Manufacturers run mid-cycle revisions that keep the model name but change hardware, so two lifts with the same name on the column can take different parts. The serial is what removes the guesswork.
Second check: compare the old part against this listing before you order. Length, mounting pattern, and thread sizes tell most of the story. If anything doesn't line up, or if the old part is too worn or broken to measure, call us with photos — we work on these lifts every week and can usually confirm fit from a picture and the lift's serial faster than you can dig through a parts diagram.
Lay the new piece against the old before installing: length, diameter, groove and hole positions, thread pitch. If the old part is too worn to compare against, check the new part in its bore or against its mate by hand — it should fit the way a machined part fits, snug and smooth, not loose and not forced. Replace the retaining clips and keys while you are there; they are one-use money.
Retention is not optional. A pin without its e-clip, cotter key, or bolt is a pin working its way out under vibration, and what it drops depends on where it lives. If the retainer came off damaged, replace it — never spring a used clip back on and call it held.

About this 17112 lock washer
The 17112 lock washer 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
Torque and installation notes for this component follow the manufacturer's service manual. Where a torque value is called out, use a calibrated torque wrench and follow the tightening sequence the manual publishes for that fastener location — many lift assemblies require star-pattern or crosswise tightening to distribute load evenly. Skipping that step is one of the most common reasons a correctly-sourced 17112 lock washer still ends up needing to be re-serviced within a year. Our tech line at 800-674-9302 will walk your installer through the procedure if the shop does not have the current service manual on hand.
Shipping & ordering
Freight covers the continental United States on all standard orders. We ship UPS or FedEx ground for parts under 30 lb; heavier assemblies quote at published carrier rates. International orders on the 17112 lock washer require a freight quote — email dimensions, weight, and destination country to [email protected] and we return a rate within one business day. Alaska, Hawaii, and US territories quote at published rates and typically take five to ten business days depending on carrier and destination.
Warranty coverage
Every 17112 lock washer sold through Automotive Lift Services carries a one-year manufacturer-defect warranty. If it fails within that window due to a defect in material or workmanship, we replace it at no charge. Damage from improper installation, use outside the lift's rated capacity, side-loading, or modifications to the parent lift are not covered. The warranty is documented on your original order receipt — retain that record for the coverage period. To submit a warranty claim, contact us with the order number and a photo of the failure at [email protected].
Cross-reference & fitment
Alternate applications for the 17112 lock washer sometimes exist. Where a common part fits multiple lift models across a manufacturer's catalog, cross-reference sheets show the compatible models explicitly. If you are consolidating parts stock and want to know which of your lifts the piece covers, email the request to [email protected] with a list of the lift models in your bay — we return a compatibility grid showing which lifts accept the replacement and which need a different number.
