This is the genuine Challenger part — 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePart number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 44554\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Challenger\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Genuine OEM replacement hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHardware is the easiest category to order wrong, because so much of it looks generic — a pin is a pin until it is an eighth of an inch short and the e-clip groove lands inside the bore. Lift makers change hardware dimensions between production runs without renaming the lift, so the part that fits a given model can split by serial range. Order from your lift’s data tag — model and serial — rather than from the model name or from a lookalike photo. If the tag is gone, the old hardware itself is the spec: measure it, or photograph it next to a tape measure and send it to us, and we will match it before it ships.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eNot sure this fits? Here's how to check\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePull 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSecond 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMeasure the old part before you order and again against the new part when it arrives: overall length, diameter, groove and cross-hole locations, and thread size on anything threaded. On threaded hardware, run the nut on by hand first — if it fights, check for welding slag or damaged threads and clean them up with a file rather than powering the nut on and wrecking both parts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eClose is not correct on load-bearing hardware. A pin that is slightly undersized hammers its bore oval; a bolt of the wrong grade shears under a load the right one shrugs off. If what arrived does not match what came out, install nothing and call — guessing is the one move with no good outcome.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy your Challenger replacement hardware from Auto Lift Services\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe install, inspect, and repair Challenger lifts every week — the 44554 is a part we handle in the shop, not a random SKU we drop-ship.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThe phone answers if you have a question mid-install — call \u003ca href=\"tel:8006749302\" style=\"color:#0b5a9c;text-decoration:underline;\"\u003e800-674-9302\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWe confirm the right part for your lift's serial and production year before you order.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEvery part ships as genuine Challenger — no aftermarket substitution unless you specifically ask for an aftermarket equivalent.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you also need companion wear items — cables, sheaves, seals, hardware — for the same repair, use our \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/parts-lookup\" style=\"color:#0b5a9c;text-decoration:underline;\"\u003eparts lookup\u003c\/a\u003e and we will build the whole kit for your lift so you order once and finish the job.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c!-- als-scaleup-v2 --\u003e","brand":"Challenger","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47704024547581,"sku":"44554","price":150.12,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/store.autoliftserv.com\/products\/challenger-44554-rail-weld","provider":"Automotive Lift Services","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
