The Challenger A2010-I column component 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 column component 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: A2010-I
• Brand: Challenger
• Type: Genuine OEM column component
• Fits: CL10, CL10DPC, CL10V3

These parts wear from repetition and from abuse. A pad that lifts twenty cars a day compresses and tears far sooner than one that works part-time. But abuse ages them faster than hours ever will: an adapter dropped and bent, an arm hit by a car pulling out, a carriage overloaded past its rating. Rubber pads are consumables that need regular replacement; steel parts last until something bends or cracks them.

Replacing your column component

Ramp and approach-part replacement is straightforward, but the part has to sit flush and lock where it should so it can't kick out under a car driving on. Check the hinges, stops, and retainers as you go. Because it's load-bearing at drive-on, the full procedure is worth following before you use it. 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

Want to be sure before you buy? Pull the model and serial off your lift's plate and open our Challenger parts lookup to open the exploded parts breakdown for your model — find your part on the drawing and you know it fits. New to finding your model number? our guide to finding your model number covers it, or send a photo of the plate and we will read it for you.

Signs this part is worn out

Check the arms for straightness and the pins for wear. Sight down each arm for a bend from being backed into or overloaded, and check that the telescoping sections slide without excessive slop. Worn arm pins and retainers let the arm lift or rotate under load. An arm that's bent, or that flops on a worn pin, isn't holding the car where you set it.

Parts commonly replaced at the same time

Contact and locating parts usually wear as a group, so when you order this one, think about the set — the other three pads, the adapters that go with them, the pins and hardware that mount them. Doing the full set keeps the lift even and saves a second order. We will pull the matched group for your model.

Safety notes

Structural parts carry the vehicle's weight and locate it safely on the lift, so worn or damaged ones are a drop risk. A crushed arm pad, a bent ramp lip, or an egg-shaped mounting hole lets a load shift where it should stay put. Replace them before they move, and never load a lift with a compromised contact point.

Before you order

Have your model and serial handy, and think in sets: four arm pads, the matching adapters, the hardware that mounts them. Ordering the full set keeps the lift even and saves a second order. Send a photo of the old part if you are unsure which version your lift takes.

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.
