Default Motor Mounts Making Alot Of Noise

I installed solid motor mounts about a month ago and i have noticed recently that everytime i take off or when the car jerks a little i hear this noise that sounds like a hammer hitting metal. I have checked all the bolts for the mounts and there all tight and secure but are the mounts supposed to be this loud?

The car will vibrate a bit when you turn the A/C clutch on (defroster or A/C mode) and when you take off in first gear. There shouldn't be any clunking noises. Is the A/C bracket (to the left of the lower MM) tight? Or is it hitting the oil pan?

I havent gotten a chance to get under the car yet to look, but it deffinitly doesnt vibrate when i take off it does sound like some kind of metal on metal clanking. PRobally a good idea to check it tomorrow morning.

probably an indirect cause from the motor mounts not the mounts themselves. Now you have a stiffer ride and the engine doesnt have its sway from what the stock mounts provided. Now it has to find the next weakest point to transfer the movement. You probably have a bracket or line that has been shifted or come loose elsewhere that is causing your noise.
