they do rust.
I've had to replace all of the power steering pressure lines.
It takes a long time for it to happen - 226k on mine and I live in the rust belt.
The metal sections corrode and start to weep, then drip then failure.
It is a challenging DIY process and from rack to pump the subframe needs to be moved for easier replacement.
I opted to have my Indi tackle the job. He wasnt thrilled at how long it took him.
It is cramped, tight and difficult to feed the new lines in to place and re-secure them to the car.
The parts are not terribly expensive, it is timely to put the new ones in.
