    My 1996 Camry has developed an issue with the steering . It basically feels like I have zero power steering & when turning the steering wheel "slips" which requires some over-turning
    to negotiate the turn.

    Zero fluid loss from the PS & zero drips under the car.

    Original PS pump, tie rods.

    Would like to keep this car as otherwise it's a perfect around town ride

    Thanks in advance for your ideas

    I'd say the power steering pump is done, time for a new one.

    Goes in the shop tomorrow. PS pump would probably be cheaper than the R&P
