It kinda sounds like a worn motor mount. I've had other vehicles (but not experienced this on my Windstar) that would thump when put into reverse and it was a worn motor mount allowing the engine to torque. Pop the hood and have somebody watch the engine while you hold the brake and put it in reverse to see if the engine moves and clunks.
