Anyone have experience with replacing the metal power steering lines with
hoses?  Seems like a good option for three reasons: 1) No need to drop the
gas tank to do the work, 2) no need to worry about rusting lines again, and
3) it eliminates the junction in the middle of the metal lines - eliminating
another potential spot for a leak to develop.  But there must have been some
reason the vans with built with metal lines in the first place.
