The Challenger JSJ5020100FCH04 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: JSJ5020100FCH04
• 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

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

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

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.
