2003 Denali while hard acceleration driver side tire pulling hard

Hey Stevie, what happens when you drive it normally? no punching it. Does it act the same way 1 side pulling, also does 1 wheel feel hotter after a 20min ride than the other? Wondering if you have a caliper sticking causing it to pull...

To the store around the corner I’ll fill nothing baby it to the freeway still nothing get on the gas to pass a car that’s going to slow it starts dancing I think it might be my idler and Pitman arm I got about an inch of play may be a little more see what happens

Check for brake caliper hanging up, Real hot hob after driving it around a little, check tie rods on drivers side and inspect CV halfshaft for boot damage and grease leaking out. All of these would cause a wheel to make noise.

Did you ever figure it out? i have the same problem, for a while now. got it looked at twice and its still not fixed. i have a black 03 yukon denali as well. i got a 2 inch leveling kit (i think tortion keys?) and i think it started pretty soon after that. the front left tire was going bald on one side and normalish wear on the front right, and the rears still seemed to have twice that. after the leveling key i took it back to them and i think they said the steering box had a little bit of play but nothing i should worry about.

That can also be a problem of wear out dampers, or wrong adjusted wheel alignment, if there I no other technical issue, like blocked calipers...

Any chance you figured out what was causing this? mine was doing the same thing only now it does it violently at low speeds and is now undrivable until i can figure this out. i just spent over $4k redoing the front end with kryptonite and moog parts.. didnt solve anything. picture of my baby attached

I would check the two upper wishbone bolts on the frame. If they are not really tightened, it may be that when force is applied to the suspension i.e. in corners or when accelerating they blow up in their adjustment range and then you have this phenomenon. Especially when the plastic retainers are missing, which gm made in the long slots during production, in which the screws can move.

A defective wheel bearing does not necessarily have to make noise, at least not at the beginning, but that is so misaligned that the tires suddenly squeak is quite unlikely, and the ABS or stability control would then respond.

It could also be that you totally knocked out some bearing of the suspension. But most likely I think are the screws.
