It's a big problem for sure. I am glad that Rock Auto came out ok in this one because I have always trusted them.

With Amazon, it goes well past car parts. I never buy things from Amazon like printer cartridges, Duracell batteries or many other things where is a huge price spread between the genuine products and off-brands. It's just too easy for the Chinese to make the off-brand look like the real thing.
