We show that solutions to Krein systems, the continuous frequency analogue of orthogonal polynomials on the unit circle, generated by an $A_2 (\mathbb{ R})$ weight $w$ satisfying $w-1 \in L^1 (\mathbb{ R}) + L^2 (\mathbb{ R})$, are uniformly bounded in $L^p_{ \mathrm{ loc}} (w, \mathbb{ R})$ for $p$ sufficiently close to $2$. This provides a positive answer to the Steklov problem for Krein systems. Furthermore, we define a "remainder" which measures the difference between the solution to a Krein system and a polynomial-like approximant, and we estimate these remainders in $L^p_w (\mathbb{ R})$ for $w \in A_2 (\mathbb{ R})$ satisfying some additional conditions. Such polynomial-like approximants, and hence remainder estimates, seem unique to Krein systems, with no analogue for orthogonal polynomials on the unit circle.
