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 Buyer's Guide tab 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.
- Patented Labyrinth Piston: An innovative oil-channeling design delivers clog-free, smooth operation through the full opening and closing stroke.
- Clog-free build: Resists binding caused by contamination for consistent motion control.
- Corrosion-tested coatings: Part coatings are tested to automotive standards for corrosion resistance.
- Easy installation: Based on the OE design for proper fit, form, and function, and installs with no special tools required.
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.
