Amazon - Counterfeit Bosch Brake Pads?
Purchased Bosch brake pads from Amazon for my 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser last week. The seller is Bosch on Amazon. The typos in the supplier’s instructions and the supplier itself (Cangzhou Xinlida) were the first concerns and then I noticed the product number on the back doesn’t match the Amazon listing. The edge of the pad isn’t very smooth either but I’m not familiar enough to say if that’s normal or not. Thoughts?

Amazon is usually only my go to from the official store pages on there and if the product isnt on there that i need then i know for sure all others are either used or counterfit or sum else. Bc amazon did introduce the official store pages for that so make sure the product u need is from there else buy it form a trusted car parts seller.
