Bad noise from Belt, maybe Powersteering Pulley?

    Hey guys, I noticed a loud sound coming from my belt today. I pulled the belt off and put a new Idler pulley and new tensioner pulley on, but I noticed that the Powersteering pulley had a little bit of play in it. The Noise was coming from over on that side. I posted up on my local facebook page and everyone said that it's probably the tensioner. Can I replace just the pulley and bearing on the powersteering pump or do I have to replace the entire pump? I really hope not. There is no up/down, or side to side play, but just a little bit of in and out, probably not even 1/8 you can hardly feel it. I'm trying to get this done today.

    My truck is a TSS 2014 with 102k miles on it now.

    Thanks in advance.

    Most likely the tensioner pulley, It was really easy job to do actually.
