Where to find garage with shaker plates?

My car has had most of the front suspension replaced recently trying to cure a rattle/ vibration, different parts have been done on the recommendation of different mechanics/garages. It has not cured the problem and is driving me insane. So does anyone know where there is a garage with shaker plates to be able to find the noise with the car being stationary? I am in Baltinglass in Wicklow but will travel. Thanks.

There's a garage on the Ballymount Road off the Walkinstown roundabout that has the system for testing suspension for the NCT if thats what your looking for. Out of curiosity what car is it?

It´s what I´m looking for all right, they surely must be in more places than nct centres, it´s a Mondeo st tdci 2.2.

I've know of two garages with them, and the other one is in Finglas. the main problem being the cost of them versus what you can charge/ how often they'll be used. I'm sure there are others and maybe even closer to you but if you need it the garage is The Tyre & Service Superstore on Ballymount Road. Ask for Brian amd explain exactly what your looking to have done and he should oblige.
With the description I honestly was expecting you to say Audi A4. Tracking down rattles and knocks in them can be a fuching nightmare.
Anyway, hope ya get sorted.

Any of the DOE centres will have them too, might be a little harder to get it in to one but if your stuck and they have a free slot they might oblige.
