I have a 07 Camry 3.5l and recently replaced both front control arms and all motor mounts, tans mount and dog bone. I have a bad vibration at idle and seems slightly less when in drive, could it be as simple as just trying to align the motor? I am thinking something is in a binde.

I bet you bought cheap aftermarket motor mounts for around $100 for all 4, correct? You have to get oem ones to avoid any issues like vibration or them going bad again in a short period of time. Unfortunately you'll have to spend around $600+ for all 4. I just paid $540 (friend discount) for all 4 mounts for my 2006 Camry 3.0 V6 last week. I installed them myself to save on labor cost that probably be as high as the cost of the oem motor mounts.

Yes I bought them from napa. The control arms are oem, for all 4 for $580. I couldn't find the mounts for a reasonable price. Sad part is I had no issues what so ever with then 3 till I installed the passenger side. I also need a wheel alignment now from installing the arms. Hoping I can fix the vibration issues after that since the mounts also play a small part in conjunction with the alignment. All are on the same axis so to speak.

You would have been better off spending on aftermarket Control arms from online sites like Rockauto. Sometimes aftermarket suspension components are as good or better than oem. Moog makes great suspension parts. Example,their sway bar end links are more heavy duty compared to oem. They are also greaseable.

Try just changing the passenger side one with oem if that is the one giving you an issue. Usually the recommendation is to change all of them at the same time so there is no added stress on the new one(s) replaced.

I changed 3 at once but due to time I couldn't do the last one till now. It was about a month and I'm luck to drive 10 miles a day so I'm sure no harm done. I'm getting a alignment now so I'll see if that helps the vibration any. I did not today that it isn't that noticeable in the car but if you look at the motor you can clearly see the vibration. I'll drive it a week and mess with it this weekend and see if I can get it to stop.
