Our '90 744 TI sprung a leak where the lines crossed over - I got a new line from Volvo and replaced the line.

When I started the car, the other line let go at the same place!!!

The lines had rubbed through each other. They were NOT rusty.

You may be able to avoid this on your rack by looking to see if it has a crossover/touching point and inserting a small piece of hose at the touch point.

BTW - it is possible on a 740 to drop the rack if you remove its mounting bolts and undo the steering u-joint.
