    Does anybody know if any garage does dynamic wheel balancing on car? Preferable in Dublin... Dynamic balancing similar to http://vibrationfree.co.uk/
    or any garage/mechanic specialising in vibrations

    Car wheel balancing is not quite as high tech as the stuff in your link.

    Any garage with a decent quality, properly calibrated wheel balancer can balance your wheels perfectly unless the wheels have something wrong with them.

    I presume you had the balancing done by a couple of places?

    The advantage of on-car balancing is that the entire hub/disc and wheel is all balanced.
    It is supposed to be a very smooth balance when done on the car.

    Its also vastly expensive, complicated and simply not needed for any normal road car unless your regularly cruising at 200mph!:eek:

    I've seen ones in the US for normal cars, its just the way things are done in different countries.
    Have a look at the Hunter balancers and compares them to the cheap dynamic balancers in most tyre places.
