Nah haven't done ball joints. Did the shocks on the BA back in the day along with all of the bushes except the ball joints.

Haven't done any front end work on the FG... yet

ball joints on a fg are not replacable, but your problem sounds like the shock absorbers are not absorbing the 'shock '(energy from the bump). remember they are 10 years old now!

Yeah think it’s the shocks for sure now. When I put my weight down on the bonnet over the wheels and rock on it the front end bounces multiple times. No good. Recommendation for replacements? Don’t necessarily want to go

top shelf but mid range options? Thanks again.

Not entirely true,

You just need to replace the lower control arm as they come with the ball joint.
