You talking about the rubber hose that attaches to the bottom of the reservoir and goes down to the rack?
Or the high pressure metal line coming out of the pump and going to the rack?
My lines that attach to the rack are 12+ years old and 140,000+ miles, they look perfect still. Only line I replaced was the one that attaches to the bottom of the reservoir and leads to my cooler, its all rubber. I just changed it as preventative maintenance while I installed an aftermarket PS fluid cooler.
