Detailed Description

This FCS tailgate lift support is specified for 1988-1991 Honda Civic models and is identified by part number 84909. The length measurements are important for proper tailgate positioning, opening travel, and closed fitment, making the dimensional specs the key reference point when replacing a worn support on a Honda Civic. FCS 84909 is a direct-fit style replacement for the listed application and should be matched to the vehicle’s original support dimensions before installation.

FCS is the brand line for this product, and 84909 is the catalog reference to use when verifying the correct tailgate lift support for the listed Civic years. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Tailgate that drops too quickly when opened
• Weak or inconsistent lift support pressure
• Difficulty holding the tailgate in the open position
• Reduced tailgate control during opening and closing
• Replacement need after gas support wear or loss of function

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the compressed length, extended length, and stroke length against the original support before installation. Confirm the vehicle is a 1988-1991 Honda Civic and compare the mounting points and overall dimensions to the removed part. For best results, replace the support only after confirming the application and physical measurements match the existing tailgate hardware.

Quality Assurance

Use the listed fitment and dimensional specifications to confirm correct application for 1988-1991 Honda Civic models. FCS 84909 is cataloged for the stated vehicle range and should be checked against the original support dimensions for accurate replacement selection.
