Clunk when braking in reverse

I noticed a subtle (but distinct) clunk that happens when I step on the brake while moving in reverse. It only happens the first time the car is put into reverse. For example, if I back up a few feet and brake, I hear the sound/clunk; if I then continue a few feet more in reverse and step on the brake, there is no sound/clunk.

To get the sound/clunk to return, I have to drive forward a few feet and stop; then, when I reverse a few feet, the clunk returns.

This clunk is very reproducible. Discs/pads on all four wheels were just replaced along with sway bar and right tie rod.

Any ideas?

Thanks.
