 Power steering lines - Durango. 
 17 Nov 12 12:31:12 
 
Like a previous discussion on how my 1980 Malibu brake lines rusted and
eventually snapped, I have been having the same issue with the Durango's power
steering lines.  These lines should not rust!  That is one of my biggest
gripes with the auto industry.  At least they started making mufflers that
don't rust these days.

I found a really good step by step guide that someone make for replacing the
Durango power steering lines.  It doesn't look too bad, but like most repairs
- the biggest problem is the tight spaces you have to work in.  

I investigated the cost of new lines at around $90 total for everything.  Not
too bad at all - and the OEM lines are not supposed to rust.  

Power steering, brakes, fuel, and all other high pressure lines should never
be made out of material that can rust.
