How do you know a right outer tie rod end is bad on a 2000 olsdmobile intrigue and if bad is this dangerous to drive?
When a tie rod end goes bad it just means that it has a lot of wear and is loose. It is not unsafe to drive unless it is broken or missing pieces. You can see how bad it is by trying to move it bt hand. If it is out of the car and the rod end will move freely based on position then it needs replaced. As far as driving the vehicle, the steering will be sloppy nad there will be greater tire wear over the long term but it can still be driven.
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.

You need an inner tie rod tool. Looks like a pipe with a drive socket on one end, and a receiver on the other. Unbolt the outer tie rod from the knuckle, and loosen the lock nut on the rod. Either use a puller to remove the outer end, or hit the knuckle with a hammer, and remove the outer end from the knuckle. Unscrew the outer from the inner rod. [break the lock nut loose before removing the outer from the knuckle, or you will not be able to loosen it] Remove the bellows from the rack and inner rod. Use a drift or punch and a hammer to push the lock plate off the inner rod end. Place the correct adapter over the inner rod end, slide the rod inside the tool, and lock the receiver end of the tool on to the adapter. place a ratchet on the drive end of the tool, and remove the rod.
