You would only need one Curt Bike Rack Strap with Cambuckle, part # 18050, on your 1993 Honda Accord Wagon, the main purpose of the strap is to prevent vertical jarring on the hitch and frame of your vehicle that might cause premature damage.

The strap hook will attach at the top of the hatch of your Accord, if you check out the picture to the right you can see exactly what I mean.
