Suspension Service Denver, Co

Hello all,
It's been a while since I've posted - busy with work and dozens of projects...
I'm looking for recommendations for a Denver area shop to look at the front suspension on my '15 V8V GT. I crawled underneath recently to give a visual and some basic ball joint checks that were inconclusive. I'm at 11,xxx miles and have found the front end to be increasingly squirrely - any shift in surface has the car darting around, so the drive to work on I25 through downtown Denver is more white knuckle than I like at 65mph.
If anyone can share experiences - good or bad - with local shops I'd be grateful.
Thanks,
Erin

Good point and something I certainly considered, but the steering wheel also appears to be a few degrees biased to the passenger side. Haven't hit anything... with the car. New tires and alignment could go hand in hand at a shop.

Prefurbia, we've all had one or two of those 'dealer experiences'... My car is no longer under warranty and I'm more interested in finding a small reputable shop.
Mike Ward is the local dealer here, who took over Aston from Sill Ter Har last year I believe ... no experience with Mike Ward.

Go to any high-end alignment specialist. Let them tell you where the play is, or it may just be out or problem in the rear.
