    2011 Tacoma 240k miles. I’m getting a very slight resistance/spongy feeling once and awhile at low speeds when parking or starting off. Besides that steering is smooth no noise from the pump or anything at startup. I pulled the reservoir and the screen was not very dirty, I cleaned it anyway. The car was meticulously maintained and the fluid was flushed 20k ago and its pretty clear. What could be culprit?
