Harmonic Balancer, Power Steering Pump or Crank?

Coming from the vehicle "1993 Pontiac Grand Am v6" 3.3 Liter

I have a loud rattling, obnocious sound coming from beneath the power steering pump. Several individual told me different things.

One said it could be the "Harmonic Balancer" Another said it could be the "Power Steering Pump" Another said it could be a "Crank"

I don?t know who to believe.

I bought a power steering pump, but there is nothing wrong with the way the car turns, there is no struggle in turning.

But this is getting louder and louder and LOUDER AND LOUDER AND LOUDER.

Try to turn the alternator belt by hand. If you can, I would guess its the harmonic balancer.

The serp belt tensioner is under the PS pump. My guess is that it is shot, and it and the belt are ready to fly off and do major damage.
