Balljoint, spindle hole

Anyone have issues with spindle/knuckle being out of round where ball is clamped up? My suspention is all aftermarket. When I'm on the highway and I drop it down a gear or two and accelerate, the car pulls left and right. So the problem in my case is an out of round spindle. Anyone else have this issue. Got 130,000km on car

Take a look at the rear cab while you are under there. It will give you a similar issue

X2... Im willing to bet your rear control arm buahings are beat to pieces. Its extremly common on the cobalts. My 09 SS/TC with gms1 had the exatct same issue. And once i replaced the cotrol arm bushings. The crazy wonky pull in the wheel from side to side totally went away. And my car onky has 90,000 km. And they were chewed up at 80,000 km.

My rear control arm bushings are spherical bearings. I replaced both spindles yesterday, steering isn't knocking or pulling me all over the highway. Problem solved!
