Ok, it seems that my spindle is bent or the chuck is.  Has anyone else had this issue?  Was it the spindle or a bad chuck?  I see that I can get new spindles/clutch units pretty cheaply.  Chucks actually seem more expensive.

remove the chuck and run the drill, if the spindle wobbles, then it is the spindle. if not, the chuck.
