What It Is Used For

- Restoring controlled opening and closing action
- Addressing weak lift support on the specified Honda Civic application

Installation Notes and Tips
Verify the compressed length, extended length, rod diameter, and socket-style connections against the original unit before installation. Confirm the mounting orientation and attachment diameter match the vehicle’s existing hardware points. For best results, compare the old gas spring to the Stabilus 2B-8491IG before removal so the replacement follows the same travel and fitment profile. Fits 1984-1987 Honda Civic, N/A.
