Last week I put my Mustang on my Challenger 9000# 2 post lift and just after I set it on the stops I hear a very loud bang. The car did not move but I put it back down and checked the floor bolts, cables, cylinders, arms, posts everything I could see and I don't have a clue what caused this noise. Has anyone had a similiar situation? I've used this lift for 5 years and never heard anything this scary. I want to be sure I don't have a problem before I use it again.

Bang from my lift

No! I always set it slowly on the stops. It was maybe 1/2 second after resting on the stops that I heard the bang.Did you drop it abruptly on the stops?

I'm betting it was sitting on the stop on one side, and it equalized and hit the stop on the other.

Bob,
What is your life worth ? Call the local Challanger rep and pay him to come and inspect the lift !!!

I was lifing my Caravan once and the rear lift pad caught the very edge of the rear leaf spring before hitting the lift pad on the frame and once the weight was on the lift arm the lift pad popped off the leaf spring and made a very loud band sound. I have a Challenger 9000# two post too and can't think of anything that would make a bang noise other than an arm or stop breaking or the vehiclel it self shifting on the lift pads.
