Front spring isolator

[hammerdamage]

Hello all, I need a little advice. I'm setting up a rolling chassis getting ready for a tub swap. Rear axle and springs went together easy but the front is presenting a problem . I'm using moog 3226 springs and the isolator will not fit in the pigtail. Will the addition of motor/ tranny weight force fit the isolator or am I doing something wrong? They are new isolators but the old ones don't fit either. Any advice/ experience would be appreciated. Gary

Can you post pictures

The pigtail makes a sharp turn inwards

Yes it will be fine

Thanks I've replaced a lot of coil springs and I'm not used to an interference fit on them

Likely a little different from the manufacture to manufacturer on the tail-
