Default Front end problems

I have a 05 ram 1500, 5.7.a month ago I took the lower control down and replaced the ball joints and I pressed new bushings in.everything was well until I started hearing a loud bang coming from the front end when braking and turning.upon inspection it appears the the lower control arm bushings are sliding back and forth in the control arm bores.when I pressed the old bushings out I matched them up to the new bushings so I know I have the right bushings pressed in,I used a 12 ton shop press to put the new bushings in, I can see slide marks on the bushings.
