A tie is a support that does its work by resisting tension forces. A strut is a support that resists compression forces, struts do NOT have to be vertical.
Ties put tension on the object, while Struts put compression. Example: A balcony.

How do you change and outer tie rod for a 2000 Pontiac Grand AM?
Remove wheel at that side. Loosen jamb nut (on inner tie rod.) Remove cotter pin, outer tie rod to strut, if equipped. Remove nut, outer tie rod to strut just a bit. If a ball joint separator (separator fork) of suitable size is available, separate tie rod end from strut using said fork, otherwise repeatedly strike strut (sharply) near tie rod with a large (5 lbs. to 20 lbs.) hammer until it comes free. Turn the outer tie rod end counterclockwise until it comes out of the car. Put a bit of wheel bearing grease on the threads of the inner tie rod end. Screw outer tie rod onto inner tie rod until it contacts jamb nut; then, back off until orientation is correct to insert into strut. Tighten nut. If equipped, install cotter pin. Install wheel. Perform wheel alignment.

What is the procedure to remove and install a new front wheel bearing on a 1996 Contour?
The front hub has to be removed , the bearings are pressed in .This should be done at a local Auto shop . you must remove the wheel , the tie rod and the strut , what i did was remove the whole strut assembly from the top and remove the bottom tie rod and I sent the whole thing into the shop to get the bearings pressed in , when it comes back simply reverse the procedure , be sure to check the tie rods before completing installation of strut

How do you replace tie rod ends on a 1991 Chevy lumina?
Depending on which ones (inside,outside). Inside tie rod ends: slide back dust cover to expose the tie rod end. you will see a spot to place a wrench on the rack side. This will keep you from (twisting) damaging the rack and pinion unit while removing the tie rod end. Holding the rack with your wrench remove the tie rod end with a separate tool. Now for the outside tie rod end: With the wheel off, remove the cotter key from the tie rod bolt. Remove the nut that holds it to the strut. With a tie rod removal tool (pickle fork) wedge the tool between the tie rod end and the strut and pound the end of the tool with a hammer. This will properly remove the tie rod end from the strut. However, if you do not have a "pickle fork" you can use you hammer to drive the tie rod end out from underneath. I do not recommend you use a hammer on a good tie end. Also, count how many turns it takes to remove the tie rod end. Use this number of turns when replacing with the new one. This will @ least get you close to the original spot of the old one makking it safe to drive to get an immediate wheel alignment.

1989 Pontiac lemans left drive axle removal?
Take off the axle nut. The outer tie rod to knuckle nut. Loosen up the small nut holding the strut to the strut tower but don't take them all the way off. Then pry the inner cv jount out off the transmission. You have to hold the strut out of the way too.
How do you install struts on 1992 Pontiac Sunbird?
Remove two lower strut bolts holding bottom of strut to the spindle. Remove the bolt holding the brake flex hose to the strut Some model years have the outer tie rod attached to the housing, separate the tie rod from the strut if you have to (can't remember on a 1992) Remove the 3 top nuts in the engine compartment ond the whole assembly will come out Put the strut in a spring compressor and compress the spring Undo the top center nut in the center of the upper mount/bearing plate The strut will fall out of the spring. Extend the piston fulley on the new strut and slide it back into the mount/ spring assembly Tighten the top nut in the center of the upper mount (new one comes with new strut) Make sure the spring is in the correct position when you put it back together and reverse the instructions to install. You will need an alignment!! Check the upper mount bearing before reusing
How do you remove tie rod?
Is it an inner or an outer tie rod. If it's an outer, than you loosen the jam nut on the tie rod, undo the tie rod end from the strut or steering arm/spindle or whatever it's connected to. And count how many times you turn it on removal, then install the new one and do the same in reverse, count the turns on installation so you have a similar alignment by the end
