The Challenger B31061 replacement hardware 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 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.

On lift hardware, fit is the whole job. A pin is not a rod of roughly the right diameter — it is a specific length, a specific fit in its bore, and a specific way of being retained, whether that is an e-clip groove, a cotter key hole, or a shoulder. A bushing is a precise interference in its housing and a precise clearance on its shaft. Manufacturer-spec hardware carries all of those dimensions; the hardware-aisle stand-in carries some of them, and the missing ones become play, wobble, and premature wear. This is a spec-correct replacement for the assembly it belongs to — it goes in the way the original came out, retained the way the original was retained.

Check your lift's serial before ordering

The most common reason a lift part comes back is not a defect — it is a revision mismatch. Manufacturers change sub-parts between production runs while keeping the same lift model name, so "it fits my lift model" is not always enough. The model plate carries the serial number that pins your lift to a specific run, and that is the number that settles which version of this part belongs on your lift.

Can't find the plate? Measure the old part — overall length, bolt-hole spacing, thread size on anything threaded — and photograph it from a couple of angles. Send that with your lift's brand and rough age and we will match it against the parts breakdowns we service from every week.

Lay the new piece against the old before installing: length, diameter, groove and hole positions, thread pitch. If the old part is too worn to compare against, check the new part in its bore or against its mate by hand — it should fit the way a machined part fits, snug and smooth, not loose and not forced. Replace the retaining clips and keys while you are there; they are one-use money.

Retention is not optional. A pin without its e-clip, cotter key, or bolt is a pin working its way out under vibration, and what it drops depends on where it lives. If the retainer came off damaged, replace it — never spring a used clip back on and call it held.
