The Challenger 957-00036 lift adapter is the direct replacement for the Challenger lift it came off of. This is the genuine Challenger part — same fit and same working specification as the one already on your lift. Ordering the Challenger lift adapter 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: 957-00036
- Brand: Challenger
- Type: Genuine OEM lift adapter
Structural parts fit by geometry and rating, and both matter. A pad has to match the arm's cup or bolt pattern; an adapter has to reach the right height and clear the rocker; a carriage and its hardware are specific to the column they ride. A part that's close but not right sits proud, loads a corner, or won't seat flat — and on a component that carries the vehicle, "close enough" isn't a spec worth trusting.

The parts below are commonly ordered alongside this one — cables, sheaves, seals, and hardware wear on similar schedules, and most repairs go faster when the whole set is done in one visit.
Replacing your lift adapter
A slide-block replacement gets the carriage riding square in the column again instead of steel-on-steel. Pull the carriage down, swap the worn blocks, and confirm the carriage moves freely without cocking. It's methodical work with a clear sequence, spelled out in full in the step-by-step guide. Not sure on the procedure? Find your lift in our parts lookup or call and we will walk you through it.
Find the right part for your lift
Not certain this is the exact part your lift needs? Start with your lift's model and serial off the data plate, then open our Challenger parts lookup to see the visual parts breakdown for your model — the exploded drawing with every part numbered and priced. If your plate is missing or unreadable, our guide to finding your model number walks through where to find it, or send us a photo and we will identify the lift for you.
Signs this part is worn out
For ramps and approach parts, look for bends, cracks, and worn hinge points. A ramp that's bent won't sit flush and can kick out when a car drives up; a cracked hinge or worn pivot lets it shift. Check that stops and retainers are present and that the ramp locks where it should. A ramp is load-bearing at the moment of drive-on, so bends and cracks there matter.
Parts commonly replaced at the same time
Handle the companions while you are at it. The hardware that mounts a worn pad or adapter is often worn too, and the other contact points are on the same clock. One order for the full set keeps the lift even and saves a second trip. Tell us your lift and we will kit it.
Safety notes
The safe grip between lift and vehicle lives in the pads, adapters, and arm hardware — and every one of them wears. A crushed pad or a wallowed-out pin bore is a slip waiting to happen. Change them at the first sign of damage, secure all hardware to spec, and never trust a load to a worn contact point.
Before you order
Ordering tip: contact and locating parts are model-specific and usually come as sets, so count what you need and read the plate before you buy. If the pads are crushed, the pins and hardware around them are often due too — ask and we will tell you what commonly goes together on your lift.
Ordering the right revision
Before this goes in the cart, grab two things off your lift: the model number and the serial number, both on the manufacturer's plate. The serial matters more than most people expect — lift makers revise components between production runs without renaming the lift, and the run your serial falls in determines which revision of this part is correct.
If you are working from a failed part rather than a plate, measure what you have and photograph how it mounts. Send that to us along with the lift brand, and we will check it against the same parts breakdowns our own techs use in the field before you commit to the order.
