Common Problems It Can Address

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the existing support’s compressed length, extended length, and end fittings before installation. Match the ball socket style and mounting points to the vehicle’s original hardware layout. For best results, replace lift supports in pairs so the opening force remains balanced across the supported panel. Confirm fitment for 2002-2005 Honda Civic before ordering.
