    2009 SR5 4x4, something to check when your skid plate is off. I have had two power steering line leaks on the high pressure hard lines on the rack due to rust. The lines are not available separate from the complete rack. $$$ They are also very difficult to access for repairs. The issue is the ac line passes above these ps lines and often drips condensation water directly onto the lines causing rust. I wrapped the ac line with a foam pipe sleeve and a couple zip ties to direct the water away from the area. I then welded the rust holes on the steel ps line (removed) and pressure tested. If your lines are corroded but not yet leaking you are fortunate, sand or brush the rust and apply some primer/paint with a brush to extend their life. Install the pipe wrap above them and hope for the best. Thought this might help someone.
