Tux/Launch 104130186 Rectangular Bolt-On Arm Pad — a direct-fit replacement lift arm pad. Ordering the lift arm pad 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: ALS-7485-7098 Type: Genuine OEM lift arm pad A worn structural part is the difference between a car that sits solid and one that slides off a lift arm. A crushed pad, a bent adapter lip, an egg-shaped pin hole — each one lets the contact point shift under load, and a vehicle that shifts on the arms is a vehicle that can come off them. These parts are inexpensive next to the bodywork of a dropped car, or the person standing beside it.

Use the correct grade and torque, and confirm the column sits flat and solid to the floor afterward. The complete procedure lays out what to check and in what order. Full step-by-step: how to replace car lift arm pads. Find the right part for your lift Landed here but not 100% sure it is your part? Grab the model and serial from the data plate and open our parts lookup for the visual breakdown — the manufacturer-style drawing with every item numbered so you can match yours exactly. Plate missing? our guide to finding your model number helps, and we identify lifts from photos every week if you would rather ask. Signs this part is worn out Go over the column hardware and anchors. Every anchor bolt should be tight and the base plate flat to the floor — a column you can rock, or an anchor backed out with a gap under the plate, is a serious problem. Check arm-pin retainers, gate stops, and fasteners for looseness, stripped threads, and missing pins. Loose column hardware lets the whole structure move under load. Parts commonly replaced at the same time Smart to replace the group: contact points wear together, so pads, adapters, and their pins are best done in one pass. It keeps the lift level and the vehicle secure. We will build the matched structural kit for your model so you are not chasing one worn pad at a time. Safety notes Structural wear sneaks up: a pad flattens, a hole elongates, a ramp lip curls, and one day the vehicle is not sitting where it should. Treat these as safety parts, not cosmetics. Replace them before they let a load shift, and confirm every mounting point is tight and true before the lift carries weight. Before you order Before ordering, confirm your lift's model and serial and check how many of the part you need — pads and adapters usually go in sets of four, and replacing one worn one still leaves three worn. Match the old part's shape and mounting against what you order, and call if the fit is not obvious. 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.
