1997 Cadillac SLS Repair Question

1997 Cadillac SLS Rear Shocks on Caddy
Suspension problem
1997 Cadillac SLS V8 Front Wheel Drive Automatic 84,000 miles
When replacing the rear shocks should the bushings be replaced? I had the shocks replaced and have an extreme rattling noise. The bushings were not replaced. The noise can be duplicated when the car is on a hoist and you jiggle either tire or shock. I'm now being told that the bushings need to be replaced & the cost will be about $700 because the shocks have to be removed and replaced. The charge for replacing the rear shocks was $1,550.

Seems to me that should have been found during the initial inspection, before it was dismantled the first time.
