thunk in reverse..?

OK i know exactly what the issue is, and two out of the three 4th gens did this, how ever one of them didnt, neither did my parents 4th gen.
Heres the issue, my maxima clunks when going in reverse, and hitting the brakes. I know this issue has somthing to do with play in the brake pad..is there a way to get rid of this? i am assuming it is from the force moving forward sort-of jams the pads forward and then the reverse motion pops them loose a bit...

does anyone else have this issue..?

Your radiator support will rust out and cause you motor to fall a lil and cause noise. thats all.
