Did the 91 Honda Accord EX come equipped with anti-lock brakes?
If so how can you tell?

There is a light on the dash that says either "ALB" or ABS". I think yours
will say "ALB". It's one of those lights that comes on when you first turn
the ignition on, but before you start the car.

If you can't see inside, you can also peek under the car at the front
brakes (not easy to see). Look for an electrical wire going to the hub near
the CV joint. It will be near the top of the CV joint.

According to autos.msn.com, only the SE model had ABS for '91. The EX got
it for '92.

Thanks for the quick replies. I'm getting ready to replace the front left
and right CV drive axles
and they have different ones depending on if you have ABS or don't.

Once you get the axle loose from the hub you will see the most obvious
difference: ABS axles have a castellated collar (like a sprocket) just
inboard of the hub. At least make sure the replacement matches yours in that
respect. It's nice to have a confidence check on the length, but that's
nearly impossible until you get the thing out.

there's a chuffing great aluminum box with a ton of brake pipes going in
and out, and it has a bunch of wires attached. if your ex has one of
those under the hood, you have abs.

if there's little or no cost difference, you can try being "safe" and
get the ones with - i'm 99.9% sure they'll fit both types.

Must be an option or only in the US model. My '92 EX Canadian model does not
have ABS.

The Canadian EX and U.S. EX were not the same. In fact, on that version
of Accord, most of the trim level designations were different.

U.S. levels: DX, LX, EX, SE
Canadian levels: LX, EX, EX-R, SE

On a '92 Canadian Accord, you would have needed to get an EX-R to get ABS.
