Default Testing for front shot Shocks

Hi,
Since I bough my car I've been complaining on my suspension performance since , but over time i'm wondering if I was sold a car with shot front suspension (i think).
I'm at 70k NX non sport.

Problems I'm noticing:
- When cornering to the left, car bounce back to the right side.
- On a ferry ship, noticed the hood was bouncing up and down for about a good 1 inch displacement (not happing on other car present on the same boat).

My work colleague just bought a 2010 RX model at 60k and he had to replace the front suspension shocks.
Is there a sure way to tell a suspension issue problems that would explain the above symptoms?

Are shocks a common issue for Lexus below 100k?

Chock? Wtf is a chock?

If the dampers are leaking oil around the top seal, they're obviously finished. Alternatively the need to be removed from the vehicle to be inspected.

Chocks is what you feel when your shocks are not working well ...
