So I broke open a front strut, and there was a Mulholland strut E-148. So does anyone know what I can replace it with? I wanted Bilstein, but I know that I need Boge as the original. I was expecting Boge or Koni, but Mulholland???

If you have a Boge strut can. You can put Boge, Bilstein and Koni shocks. Paragon Products is the place to call. Texas. I think they have on pair of Koni reds for the front left.

Mine had Mulholland also. I replaced mine with Bilsteins on all 4 corners. PMB is the place to go, best prices and awesome customer service.

Mulholland was a good ole made in the USA shock form the 80's. I believe they were made by Monroe but not 100 % sure.

Awesome this was exactly what I was looking for!!! Thanks for the help. Also these Mulholland say Made in Mexico One last question Mine had a rubber topper that went under the cover, it sat on top the nut to get to the strut. My rubber topper is all jacked up is their a place to buy another. Again thanks for all the help!!! |

So just as a follow up: Absolutely the Bilsteins fit!
And much more importantly the stock rubber stopper that came with the car is not used by the Bilsteins, so don't waiste your money replacing it! |

That rubber bumber is there to keep the shock from totally bottoming out in a very hard bump as it will destroy the valving mechanism.
