Have you ever experienced culture shock? You should use the present perfect talking about a general experience in the past.

"Did you ever experience culture shock (when you were visiting...)?" If you use past simple, you need to give a time for the action... even if it's in a question form. "Have you ever experienced culture shock?" This is the correct form for the general question. We can use present perfect to introduce an experience.

the first one is correct and the second one would be correct if you wrote "Have you ever experienced a culture shock?" experienced not experience
