Question If AC Discharge line is leaking, does AC Liquid line get replaced also ?

Can anyone tell me if when an AC Discharge line (part 4677577AC) is leaking and replaced (system evacuated and recharged), does the AC Liguid line(part 68029278AA) get replaced as well ? (2008 Dodge Grand Caravan SXT) The reason I am asking is I noticed on the dealership paperwork that both the Discharge and the Liguid line were noted as being replaced, but when I look at the DGC only the Discharge line looks new. The Liquid line looks older and dirty, like it was never touched. If it was just a technician error in entering data, that's fine. But if the job was only half completed, and it could cause problems later, I would like to know now so I can take the DGC back to the dealership. Thanks for any input...

usually only the discharge line is replaced. Have not had an issue with the liquid line as of yet. But if you paid for the part, that is another story.

Thanks Tizzy1. I did not get charged for the part, so I didn't want to go back and question their work unless I had a valid reason. If, on the other hand, both lines were replaced as a "standard practice" for some reason, I didn't want to have to pay for premature A/C failure because I didn't point this out. But, you answered my question, so I won't worry about it. Thanks!
