You'd like to think so but pattern parts can be a bit hit and miss. Could be a combination of the arms being just that bit over the tolerance and the bushes just that bit under.
Either way I wouldn't use the garage that fitted them again as they should have spotted the problem and corrected it either with a file or different parts, not just kept going until the bushes were pushed out of their housings.
I had the same problem when fitting Powerflex bushes. Had to take a fair bit off the pattern arms to make them fit correctly.
