Need 1991 Honda Civic shocks or struts? This page is catalog-backed ride control for the older Honda Civic (1991), including 1991. Confirm coupe vs sedan and Si/hybrid exclusions before you order.
KYB Excel-G / Gas-a-Just / MonoMax and Gabriel Ultra / Guardian / HiJackers numbers below come from the U.S. KYB shocks & struts catalog and Gabriel 2018 application guide. Do not mix KYB Europe SKUs onto these rows. 2WD vs 4WD (and air vs coil on some trucks) still change the corner.

older Honda Civic (1991) shock shop notes — 1991
These are ride-control shop notes for the older Honda Civic that includes 1991. Numbers come from the KYB U.S. shocks/struts book and the Gabriel 2018 application guide we host under Catalogs — not from torque charts, and not from the KYB Europe PDF.
What usually brings people here
- Nose dive, hollow ride, or a wet shock body → front damper worn out. Start with the Front list on this page and match 2WD/4WD (and air vs coil on Rams) before you order.
- Rear sag under tow, cargo squat, or a floaty highway feel → rear shocks first. If Gabriel lists a HiJackers air shock for this truck, that is the load-assist path — not a substitute for broken leaf springs.
- Clunk that is not a ball joint or sway link → check upper strut mounts / bearing plates when the catalog lists them beside the strut row.
KYB vs Gabriel — how we pick a line
KYB Excel-G 341135 is the OE-style twin-tube daily driver; Gas-a-Just 741008 is the firmer high-pressure monotube when both appear for the same corner — pick one philosophy, don’t mix left/right. Gabriel Ultra G55773 is the main Gabriel damper line on this page.
While you’re in there
Replace dampers in axle pairs. Inspect bump stops and dust boots while the corner is apart. If the truck also clunks or wanders, see 1991 Honda Civic suspension parts. If brakes are next, see 1991 Honda Civic brake parts.
Shop notes only — not a service manual. Use the factory procedure or a Haynes/Chilton manual for wrench work, torque, and safety steps. Leave a comment with 2WD/4WD (and air vs coil if equipped) plus the symptom if you want a part-number check.

Fitment notes
These KYB and Gabriel numbers come from the U.S. KYB shocks & struts catalog and the Gabriel 2018 application guide (plus Gabriel HD only when a 1500 row appears). Year ranges in those books that cover 1991 are expanded onto this page. Mount/boot kits are omitted unless they rode beside a damper row we kept. Do not use KYB Europe application SKUs here.
