The Challenger A2070-57-0-27 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: A2070-57-0-27
• Brand: Challenger
• Type: Genuine OEM column component

The structural parts are what actually touch the vehicle and carry it — the arms and their pads, the adapters that reach a pinch weld or frame rail, the carriage that rides the column, and the hardware that holds it all together. They turn the lift's motion into a stable hold on the car. Every one of them takes the full weight and every bit of the shock when a vehicle settles, which is why they wear, spread, and crack.

Replacing your column component

Replacing an adapter is usually drop-in, but the fit is everything: the new adapter has to reach the correct height, seat square on the pinch weld or frame, and clear the rocker. Set it in place and load-test it before trusting a car to it. The step-by-step guide covers how to confirm it's seating right. 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

Inspect welds and steel for cracks. Wipe the arms, carriage, and column joints clean and look hard at every weld seam and stress corner — a hairline crack at a weld toe or a bend radius is the start of a failure. Cracks near arm pivots, at carriage gussets, and around anchor points are the ones that matter most. Any crack in a load-bearing weld takes the lift down.

Parts commonly replaced at the same time

Order structural parts in the set they belong to. A single fresh pad among three flat ones does not restore even support, and the pins and hardware around a worn part are usually due too. We keep the right versions for your lift and can assemble the full contact-point kit in one order.

Safety notes

Do not overlook the structural wear items just because they are simple. A worn arm pad or a cracked ramp weld can let a vehicle walk or drop, and they fail quietly until the day they do not. Inspect contact points every service and replace anything crushed, cracked, or bent before the next lift.

Before you order

A little prep saves a wrong part: confirm model and serial, count how many you need, and match the mounting against what came off. Pads and adapters wear as a group, so ordering the set is usually the smart move. Ask about the companion hardware while you are at it.

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.
