I have a problem with vibrations transmitted to the body at slow speeds. The previous owner told me that the catalytic converters were cut.

There are minimal rpm undulations at idle. Sometimes it is all OK, normal and the pointer stands still. The engine runs evenly and sitting inside the car there is no body shake. I drive longer routes on premium fuel. The filters have been replaced. What could be the cause?
