95% of places won't have the right thing to mount them on the balancer, and they need special weights (like all french cars) which most places won't have either.

a buckle is easy to balance out, that's basically what the balancing is for, to remove a wobble from a tyre not being round, or the wheel...

Until they've been done properly, you can't start guessing at other things.

Driveshaft wouldn't suddenly start wobbling, but weights do come off wheels, and they do go out of balance as the tyres wear.

Not to the steering, you'd feel a sort of humming through the car though.
