I have the same problem. Last week the dealer had the HL for 4 days and thought they finally fixed it. I picked it up and was able to reproduce it with the mechanic in the seat. I needed the HL back for the weekend, and I still need to make another appt to bring it back. Hopefully someone knows what this is.

Let me clarify, my issue is a steering knock after putting the vehicle in reverse and slowly backing up while slightly turning the wheels. I don't have any tranny clunk though.
 
So what makes you think its the brake pads (or how did you track it down)? To me, I can't see how the brake pads can make such a noise. Sometimes it is quite load. And it only happens in reverse.
