Beware of Counterfeit RoadActive Suspension Products on eBay and Amazon
At RoadActive Suspension, we take immense pride in delivering high-quality suspension solutions designed to improve your vehicle's performance, safety, and durability. Since 1998, our proprietary RoadActive Suspension (RAS®) systems have been trusted by thousands of customers nationwide every year. However, it has recently come to our attention that counterfeit products falsely claiming to be RoadActive Suspension are being sold on eBay, Amazon, and other online marketplaces.
These Chinese made knockoff products not only undermine the quality and integrity of our brand but also pose serious risks to your vehicle's performance and safety. We want to ensure that our customers are fully informed and equipped to avoid these fake listings.
How to Identify Counterfeit RAS Products
-
Part Numbers Misuse
Many counterfeit listings use our part numbers, such as "3611-YHD," to mimic the appearance of authenticity. If the seller is not authorized by RoadActive Suspension, the product is likely a knockoff. -
Unrealistic Pricing
Be cautious of prices that seem too good to be true. Counterfeit products are often sold at significantly lower prices, but they compromise on quality and reliability. -
Suspicious Sellers
Sellers with no association with RoadActive Suspension or a poor reputation are likely peddling fake products. Always check the seller’s history and ratings before making a purchase. -
Incorrect Product Descriptions
Many counterfeit listings inaccurately describe the product as an “OEM replacement” or fail to provide complete specifications. Genuine RAS products include precise details and certifications. -
Lack of Branding
Genuine RAS products come with official branding, including our logo and packaging. Counterfeit products may arrive in generic or unbranded packaging. - Country of OriginIf country of origin is any other country than the USA, it is not authentic RoadActive Suspension.
Why Counterfeit Products Are Dangerous
Counterfeit suspension systems are not made to our exacting standards and specifications that have been proven to last. This means they may fail to deliver the same performance, durability, and safety as genuine RAS systems. Issues can include:
- Premature Wear and Tear: Cheap materials and poor manufacturing practices lead to rapid deterioration.
- Safety Hazards: A suspension failure at high speeds or under heavy loads can result in serious accidents.
- Lack of Warranty or Support: Fake products come with no manufacturer warranty, leaving you without recourse if something goes wrong.
