You can use anything from 1969-1970 mustang , fairlane, falcon or the comet. If it came with disc brakes. You may want to talk to willwood.

all the fairmonts that I've ever seen was four lug. I would just go with a suspension out of a fox body mustang even though it sounds expensive it will have a better chance of working than what you're trying to accomplish

Fairmont's have a rack system, to much to change. Call Pony Express in P.A. Anything mustang related they have or will get for you . I had my front spindles made fresh an it cost way more then I expected . I have a total of 1100.00 in my set up from a none performance customer . You can slap me later , lol. That was my mistake. You can also call summit racing or performance suspensions .

the later model maverick's had a five hole rim and would come closer to working with the falcon and I know they didn't have the rack and pinion steering
