So true!

I had similar trouble and it was a faulty cap, cheap one from the parts store. I bought one at the dealer and its been good for over a year.

Bolt everything up "loose" so it floats a bit then tighten the RH and LH downpipe flanges (use a small amount of high temp RTV on these). Next, tighten the manifolds, followed by the ball type muffler connection. The last thing should be the clamp for the two sections of the y-pipe. I just went...

The exact same thing happened to me. It was a bad seal on a replacement windshield.

Front driver side coil spring on 2000 DII. There's nothing obviously loose, drives fine and sits level. The springs are Terrafirma HD +2 and are about 5 years old. It's like the axle isn't straight but all the radius arm bushes seem ok. Maybe I'll exchange the front springs from side to side...

I have always just unbolted the cross-member and its always been a struggle. Never crossed my mind to let go the steering...........
