Default Koni Yellow shock not fitting on to the fork

I was trying to put some koni yellows on the car today. When I tried to slip the front shock into fork it would not go on at all. Anyone have any suggestions?

You either have the wrong Koni shock or you have the wrong fork. We just did a Koni/GC setup on my buddies EG, his Koni's didn't want to slide into the forks at all. Here he had forks and shocks off of a DA on there.

Ordered some EG/DC forks, Koni's slid right in.

yea, see that little dimple on the shock, that's were the bolt hole should line up. the fork shouldn't slip on it should be snug. try using a rubber mallet to ease it on.

but if it is so tight that it doesn't look right, you might have the wrong forks.

It took some brute force, but I got it on.

Thanks!
