The company fabricates its own rack-and-pinion assemblies and axles in-house at a modern facility, backed by more than 70 years of experience in these components. It has served the Detroit metropolitan area for about 30 years and expanded its reach internationally through online channels in recent years, operating under multiple DBAs such as Dearborn Axle and Axle of Dearborn, with sales through platforms like eBay and Amazon in addition to its website. Its market comprises buyers seeking aftermarket auto parts and accessories, including replacement racks, pinions, and axles, with distribution to customers in the region and worldwide online.
