Could be lugs, or the heatshield on the cat, or any number of things

its not driving weird now.. i just ment it was driving weird because of the light steering.. well ive been driving without any probs right now so hopefuly its nothin seriuos.. this happend a while back with my older crap car but drove it with no prob.. so i did a quick check to see if it looked right and it did but i did noticed some balancing weights missing.. do they stick the weights on with tape or something? cause all i can see is tape where the weights are suposed to be....
