... just alil curious... why? Only thing PSteering does is make steering easier, and add a pretty good chunk of weight. Plus fashioning a pully system, to run said power steering pump...
I cant say adding a PSteering to a kart is a wise idea...

are trying to build a mini car? Transmission, now power steering? 
You don't see those things on karts for a reason..... $$$$$$$ if your kart is using a 6.5 hp engine, you're gonna waste 1+-.5 hp trying to run a power steering pump. It's a kart.... They already turn easy, if not, then something is wrong and you should fix it.....

Your best bet would be rack and pinion.

U can get electric assist steering loads of small cats have them these days
But a cheap aftermarket one will drain u 500 easy

The only cat with electric assist that I ever saw, was a tom spraying an electric fence.

Lol
I meant cars
Most modern hatchback and the like have ditched heavy hydrolic steering
For a far lighter electric motor
Otherwise almost all earthmoving machines with tyres have electric steering
But as a backup electric motor running a hyd pump

It's could be how the front end is set up. Why not post some pics of the front end, wheels to the left, straight ahead, and then wheels to the right.... From above.... That way we can see what's going on and maybe just fix what you have instead of spending money on something you don't need. A picture is worth a thousand words.......
