Tire/Wheel shaking?

Are you trying to put this in a Fairmont, or it just came out of a Fairmont?

Longer lug nut studs?


I am 99.5% sure that all of the Fairmonts and Zephyrs came with the 7.5" rear axle. I have not tried it, but if the Mustang is the same width (the 79-93 Mustangs were based off of the 78 Fairmont) then any aftermarket axle that would go in a Mustang housing should work. You need to verify if the Fairmont axles are the same width as the Mustang ones.

If it is a 7.5", personally, I would try to find an 8.8 out of a Mustang and put the entire rear-end into your car. then upgrade to aftermarket five lug axles. Of course this is not a necessity unless you are running a high horsepower motor.

Here's the problem, you need to check to see which rear end you have. It could be a spicer 7.5" or 8.8" or the Ford 8" or 9". The 7.5/8.8 have a cover that bolts over the rear of the gear housing, the 8"/9" the chunk comes out the front. I'm guessing you've got the 7.5/8.8 so you will need to find a suitable v-8 donor with the same axle type. Good luck.
