Baltimore suspension shop suggestions?

Basically I'm looking for a shop that can set up a good baseline on my suspension, which it will soon become patently obvious that I shouldn't do myself (not that I have scales to corner balance with anyway). I have adjustable struts, and camber plates, so want a good alignment and corner balanceing. In addition, I have another complication:

 

I really f*^#ed up the other day and managed to loose the left front wheel on the freeway. While I could have sworn I double checked all 4 wheels after a rotation, I must have gotten distracted. :x Anyway, I did manage to keep it pointed the right way, and shiny side up.

 

Anyway, after towing home, and kicking myself for a good long while, I inspected the damage. It looked like I just sanded down the control arm a bit, and the dust cap on the ball joint. Was going to put on the wheel and be happy when I gave everyting a final check, and found about 1/2" of play such that the strut can move side to side with respect to the control arm.

 

I'm guessing that a) the ball joint didn't survive, and B) I probably shouldn't trust the weight of the Z to it, let alone drive it. Sound about right?

 

Given that, can anyone in or near baltimore suggest a good shop that could not only fix the ball joint, but do my suspension setup? Could always hit two shops, but would rather let someone who knows Zs/sports cars do the work. Considering the tow involved, would prefer something near highlandtown, but if you know a good shop for suspension setup would go as far as DC.

There is a very good shop here in my local area, Newport News VA.

Shop has all the stuff needed and the owner is a racer with experience in Z suspenion setup.

It would be mostly all interstate driving for you to get here.

If you interested, e-mail me and I will give you names and contact info.

 

Glad to here no major damage to you or your car.
