Take a look on Ebay for sellers in your area or if you have a local Toyota dealer you're comfortable with, it's your choice. Dealer pricing for you will obviously be different to ours (Australia) as you are overseas somewhere (not sure exactly where), but I would definitely check the price from your local dealer for a Genuine part then you can compare to the aftermarket prices online. If there isn't much difference in pricing, I'd always go for Toyota Genuine parts. Toyota would most likely be more expensive, but it's always good to check first.
Please make sure you enquire with your VIN # so they can cross check the correct fitment.
You can either opt to do all the engine mounts or just replace the bad one.
On second thoughts, You did mention a vibration, so I'm tending to think it may also be the front mount too as well as the dog bone. A bad dog bone, will give off a "thud" or "lurching" movement and some vibration, but the front lower mount will give off vibration as it's mounted directly to the front lower crank case section of the engine and this can transfer the engine movements to the chassis if the damper is bad.
If it were my car I'd just do the whole lot so they are new all and even in wear and tear.Also, for you information, the dogbone mount just on its own is very easy to replace too. You won't need to pay someone if you have a basic DIY approach and some tools of your own. If not, then you can probably ask a friend to help. It's a very simple procedure. To do the rest will involve a bot more dismantling, but anyone with some DIY knowledge and the right tools can do this work.
Here a kit I found in the U.S, which may be helpful to you. Seems like a pretty popular choice for many too. Just make sure you provide your VIN # before purchasing so it's correct.
One last question Tony, unfortunately my trusted mechanic is on a vacation leave and I would like to ask, if I could still drive (highway and town) the car even with the problem persisting (there's no damage being done)?

Thank you so much Tony, yes I will abide by your opinion to check the mounts especially those parts that you described,

Update: I'll keep you guys posted on whatever happens upon inspecting the mounts

I truly appreciate your fast response tony, my car is a 2008 Camry 3.5 v6 (2grfe), with 76000 km on the clock, it's a left hand car and fwd. Yes sir, duly noted on the need to check on my mounts, especially the dog bone part, additional question, how much is the part of ever I would replace it jus my in case it's been identified as the culprit?

Greetings once again.
I'm here creating a post once again, asking for all of your help, my last post was greeted with helpful and an expert opinion (thanks Tony) it's a testament that this forum is really altruistic in helping out a fellow aurion/Camry owner.
I encountered a problem or is it something that I could live with?. Whenever I'm in drive mode, at the same time I put my feet on the break the car seems to vibrate and I could also feel the vibration through the steering wheel, I haven't encountered this problem for the past months but it's quite annoying and concerning but it doesn't vibrate whenever I'm cruising or the car is moving or in neutral or park.
Thanks in advance

Just an update: the clip on the sensor jus below the engine cover seems to be broken so it's loose (camshaft sensor I think?), hence the warning lights, after putting some silicone stuff to make it stick, I drove the car afterwards and so far so good no more VSC, traction and engine lights, hopefully it stays this way

Thanks Tony for your response, I see, I'm glad with your expert opinion and perhaps I could stop my overthinking for a moment too, lol. That's my concern too, that I would spend a ton of money trying to fix things without definite guarantee that it'll solve my problems, I guess I should need to dig in more research before buying stuff and fixing it. The video that you've shared with me is quite promising I'll definitely check it out. Thank you

Greetings! I'm here once again asking for help regarding my 2008 Camry 3.5 V6 with 76000 kms, I'm located in the Philippines by the way and I couldn't approach any reputable persons to ask there, but being owners of Toyota aurions in this forum, I'm heartily looking forward to you all to help me with my problems with the car.
While I was cruising along the highway recently, the VSC, check engine and traction control light suddenly popped up, but the car still drove finely (although kinda worried that it might die on me along the busy road). Upon diagnosing the car with an obd, the code or fault mentioned "P0365 camshaft position sensor "B" circuit" nevertheless, once I cleared the code it didn't appear for a couple of days, but suddenly the engine, traction and VSC lights came off again (interestingly it cleared itself recently). I'm really worried, coupled with my lack of expertise in resolving complicated problems within my car, I have this uneasy feeling that car might just die suddenly along the busy road on my busy schedule. Thank you in advance guys, I truly love this car with it's fantastic engine and great comfort and I would like to extend it's life with me. (I'll respond to their inquiries if there's any)

Update: I'm quite confused and dumbfounded right now, my mechanic said that all the suspension parts and consumables (motormounts, dampers, and etc) are in good shape and he stated that the culprit could be a camshaft sensor or there's a need for ATF replacement, what is your opinion regarding this @Tony Pr
