Default Klonk from front brakes.

Hi all. I have a question i hope you can help me with.
When i reverse my xkr and brake. I hear a klonk sound from the front brakes. Its sounds a bit like the brake pad making contact with the disc. Doesn't do it when going forward only reverse.
I am sure i read somewhere that there is a grease or something that is put on the caliper somewhere, that cushions the action. Sounds vague sorry.
Any ideas?
Brake pads and discs are brand new. (nearly 1 year) and in great condition.
Cheers.

There are a few TSB's to do with noise from the front brakes and they all seem to suggest a similar solution (see pic)
