There is a chance the cap on the strut tube has become loose. Can you make the clunking noise when forcing the passenger's side down with your body weight?? If so it should be easy to find the source. The cap on the top of the strut tube is threaded and can be tightened/checked by raising the rubber boot and placing a brass rod on one of the "ears" on the cap and striking the rod to try to tighten the cap. The shop that did the work could(and should) do this with ease.

BTW I have never seen any of the front end bushings that didn't need to be pressed out or new ones pressed in. Perhaps with only a large vise and the correct size diameter socket (or something similiar of the right diameter) but some real pressing force is needed.

Any shop with half a brain should have at least checked all of the rest of the components in the front end when they were there doing the work.
