Default Lumpy bumpy suspension issue

So I’ve got an issue with my suspension and after my Indy having a quick look they’re struggling to find fault, if anything it’s come back from them worse than it was - assume from them having up on ramps n poking and prodding at it….

It’s recently had a cv joint replaced and an arm, other than that I’m told everything looks good, no excessive play etc. but it just does not drive right at all, it doesn’t feel nice n smooth on roads, very much dislikes ramps or speed bumps and just seems to crash over them, it’s almost as if there’s no absorbing of anything

So my thoughts are, with no visible issue with springs, could it be the shocks?

Ive seen posts where others suggest all looks ok. But it can actually be bushes?

Could it be anything else? I don’t want to fork out for new shocks etc n find I’ve still got same issues

Tia as always for any help on this

Had a few Audis over the years, mostly early stuff, newest was a D3 prior to my D4, nothing much kept me smitten with other marques so I floated about a bit from one thing to another until that four ring lure caught hold
