Even the flexible hose replacements can, under bad circumstances, be ruined. I had a set that came unattached too the body and swang down, rubbing on the drive axle (right rear). By the time i caught it, it had worn through the line and my "lifetime replacement part" was ruined.

I've thus had no power steering for 4 years now, and I really couldn't care less (it's a 2wd) but every year my inspection station tries to fail me for not having power steering on a car that came with it from the factory. I constantly tell them "thats ridiculous. It drives fine and they sold these without PS" and they let me go.

Anyway, anything can wear out.
