2000 9-5, at 186,000 miles. Power steering fluid visible under rear subframe. I replaced the lines 4 years ago(tuff job, for sure),and could not believe one had failed again? Nope. This time, the lower bends of the high pressure metal lines on top of the steering rack had rusted to the point of weeping!These lines are barely visible, let alone accessible. Replacement was not that bad. Downpipe out, rear mount nut off, jacked motor up slightly to unload rear mount, removed rear bracket, removed rear mount, and voila, everything is visible and accessible from top and bottom. The only part of the lines that were bad was where they dip downward toward subframe. Rusted similarly to brake lines (not SAABS, which are treated) . If only SAAB supplier had treated these lines!! Oh well, fyi.. and regards, Tom S.
