It's normal for them to go bad, but it should not take 6 hours to replace them.
OP what EXACTLY are the bushings in the back, I have never even seen those before and there are no real bushings on the rear axle besides the RTABs the rest are ball joints except where the upper and lower control arm meet the subframe, but those are much smaller.....
You made it sound like an arm broke in half.
Either way, this should not be taking 6 hours, unless the shop has no idea what they are doing (which they obviously don't based on the bushings)
