Take it apart and see what you are dealing with.

i was able to tap the chuck out pretty easy
i dont have a gauge to put on there, but it sure feels like there is a wobble in the spindle

"What is" the runout and "how did" you check it? Depending on the design it could be a bent spindle, loose / worn bearings, a poor design or install of the chuck to the spindle, or just plain bent from dropped

OR it might be "acceptable" runout, as you didn't say "how much"

These are not a milling machine.......................

i dont have a way to measure it (that i know off, im sure one of you will let me know shortly)
i first noticed it when i was hitting the chuck with some steel wool, i could feel it

then when i tried to drill a hole today, it just wobbled the piece bad enough that it just wouldnt work

i took the chuck off (it is just a press fit) and put it back on...that did not improve it any
