...eliminate the vibration when my Camry is stopped at a stoplight? I have already changed the dogbone mount and it did nothing. I don't want to spend the $$ on OEM mounts, but wouldn't mind forking out $100 on Ebay if I knew the cheap mounts would eliminate the vibration. I am driving a 1996 Camry 5SFE 2.2L.

EBAY mounts are usually hard rubber which will reduce vibrations but won't minimize as much as OEM mounts which uses a softer rubber.

If your car runs well and you know it will last get OEM mounts, if you are not keepin it or going to ride it to hell get EBAY mounts or dont get any at all

Some vibration at idle is normal for the generation 3 (1992-1996) Camry 4 cylinder engines. I am the original owner of a 94 and the car has always vibrated a bit at idle. I even drove another new car at the dealer when my car was new, as a test, and that car did the same thing. If the car otherwise runs fine, ignore it as cruisn76 suggested. Try cleaning your throttle body. That may help smooth the ilde just a bit. Here's a link on how to do it:
