What It Helps Address

• Excessive rear-end bounce over bumps
• Reduced handling control during braking and cornering
• Noise and vibration from worn shock absorbers
• Uneven ride quality caused by suspension wear
• Loss of damping consistency in the rear suspension

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify rear fitment by year before installation on a Honda Civic. The upper mount is a stem style and the lower mount uses a loop (eyelet) bushing and sleeve, so confirm the vehicles mounting points match the part before removal of the original shock. Mounting hardware is not listed as included, so reuse or replacement should be planned separately as needed.

Quality Assurance
