Hold your hatch open with steady, controlled motion using the Stabilus Liftgate Lift Support 2B-8491IG, a hydraulically dampened, gas-charged lift support that installs as a direct-fit replacement on the 1984-1987 Honda Civic (see the "Vehicles it fits" section for engine details). This Lift-O-Mat unit measures 29.25 inches and is built around Stabilus' patented labyrinth piston for smooth, refined damping as the glass opens and closes.
Lift-O-Mat by Stabilus pairs an oil-channeling system and labyrinth piston design with application-tuned oil viscosities and piston configurations, using a precision seal-guide system and high-grade materials. For best results, replace lift supports in pairs so both sides hold with balanced force. Signs a support may need replacing include a hatch that drops, drifts, or won't stay up.

This part cross-references / interchanges with the following part numbers:
What vehicle does the Stabilus 2B-8491IG fit?
It is a direct-fit replacement liftgate lift support for the 1984-1987 Honda Civic. See the "Vehicles it fits" section to confirm the exact application for your vehicle.
How long is this lift support?
This Lift-O-Mat lift support measures 29.25 inches, matching the OE design for proper fit, form, and function on the listed application.
Should I replace both lift supports at once?
Stabilus recommends replacing lift supports in pairs. Doing both sides together keeps holding force balanced so the hatch opens and stays up evenly.
What is the patented labyrinth piston?
It is Stabilus' oil-channeling piston design that provides clog-free, smooth operation and helps resist binding from contamination during opening and closing.
How do I know if my lift support is worn?
Common signs include a hatch that slowly drifts down, won't stay open, or feels weak when raised. If a failed lift support is the cause, this unit replaces it.
