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 A1206-22\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  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFits:\u003c\/strong\u003e DX77\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHardware is where lift failures are born. A pin that has worn oval lets its sheave run crooked; the crooked sheave saws at the cable; and a five-dollar pin has now written a quote for cables and sheaves. Springs lose tension and a lock pawl stops returning. A bushing thins out and the clunk everyone ignores becomes the slop that rounds off the bore it sits in. None of these parts fail dramatically — they just get a little loose, a little rounder, a little weaker, and pass the damage up to whatever they located or supported. Replacing hardware at the first sign of wear is how the expensive parts on a lift get to live out their full lives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003ch3\u003eRelated parts for this lift\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/challenger-a1206-10-13-c-1-4-x-1-2-thread-forming-screw\" style=\"color:#0b5a9c;text-decoration:underline;\"\u003eChallenger A1206-10-13-C 1\/4 X 1\/2 Thread Forming Screw\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/challenger-a1206-10-24-3-8-lanyard-pin\" style=\"color:#0b5a9c;text-decoration:underline;\"\u003eChallenger A1206-10-24 3\/8 Lanyard Pin\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/challenger-a1206-10-25-3-8-e-clip-for-3-8-pin\" style=\"color:#0b5a9c;text-decoration:underline;\"\u003eChallenger A1206-10-25 3\/8 E-clip (for 3\/8 Pin\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/challenger-a1206-15-12-mounting-bracket-junction-box\" style=\"color:#0b5a9c;text-decoration:underline;\"\u003eChallenger A1206-15-12 Mounting Bracket Junction Box\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/challenger-a1206-15-13-ground-screw-10-32x3-8-green\" style=\"color:#0b5a9c;text-decoration:underline;\"\u003eChallenger A1206-15-13 Ground Screw #10-32X3\/8,Green\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/challenger-a1206-15-14-10-32-serrated-flg-hex-nut\" style=\"color:#0b5a9c;text-decoration:underline;\"\u003eChallenger A1206-15-14 #10-32 Serrated Flg.hex.nut\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\n\u003ch3\u003eOrdering the right revision\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBefore 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhen hardware comes out, read it. An ovaled pin means its bore is probably ovaled too — check the hole, not just the pin. A stretched spring means something was binding for it to fight. Bright metal dust around a bushing or bearing means it has been grinding, so inspect what it rides in. New hardware in a worn bore is a short-term repair with a long-term invoice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNever reuse a bent pin, a stretched spring, or a mushroomed piece of hardware because it still technically fits — and never substitute generic hardware-store fasteners for load-bearing lift hardware. Grade and dimensions exist for a reason on a machine that holds vehicles in the air.\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 A1206-22 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":47704589304061,"sku":"A1206-22","price":123.74,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0819\/7845\/8365\/files\/challenger-book-dx77-p15_6948f43d-de20-48f4-bbca-cfacf681d5de.jpg?v=1781292450","url":"https:\/\/store.autoliftserv.com\/products\/challenger-a1206-22-7-8-5-pin-straight-connnector","provider":"Automotive Lift Services","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
