it CAN NOT be an IRS vehicle..

which rules out fairmonts..fairlanes.. and VCT XR6s(XR6 HPs are the same as forte rear end) and XR8s

probably easier to get yours rebuild with an LSD

99% of Fairmonts had Live axle, the IRS was an option rarely taken up.

Fairmont Ghia's had it standard.

No Josh as was already posted you can't fit an IRS diff as a straight swap.

What you can do is fit the XR6 HP diff, but to do that you will also need the matching diff housing.
