I too am surprised. My son's Honda CR-V (1998) has had the roll bar bushes front and back picked up (and replaced) at at last years (front) and then this years (back). The point as discussed with the local indy garage owner was that any play detectable by the mechanic would/should result in a fail for exactly the same reason that you highlight above. and, lo and behold, the noises he had been experiencing ceased on replacement!
