TEN Factory: Precision-Forged Performance Drivetrain Components
When the trail gets technical or the strip gets serious, the integrity of your drivetrain is everything. TEN Factory — a dedicated performance brand operating under the Motive Gear division of Midwest Truck & Auto Parts — has spent more than a decade building a reputation for engineering drivetrain components that enthusiasts and professionals can genuinely trust. TEN Factory is not just another parts label; it is a brand built by and for driving enthusiasts, from off-road adventurers and Jeep builders to drag racers and street performance fans.
Engineering Backed by Real Quality Assurance
What truly sets TEN Factory apart in the performance drivetrain space is the depth of engineering behind every component. As part of the Motive Gear division, TEN Factory engineers develop proprietary technical drawings and specifications that follow strict quality and strength criteria for every part produced. Products are tested daily at Motive Gear's in-house Quality Assurance lab — the only dedicated facility of its kind in the industry — ensuring that what arrives at your door has been rigorously vetted before it ever hits the road or trail.
TEN Factory components are built, heat-treated, and CNC-machined to handle demanding conditions. Replacement axle shafts, for instance, are crafted from high-manganese 1541H alloy steel, which allows for a deeper and harder heat treatment than standard materials. For applications demanding even more strength, chromoly options in 4140 and 4340 alloys are available, coated in black oxide for added corrosion resistance under intense load.
The Ten-Year Warranty — Where the Name Comes From
The "TEN" in TEN Factory is no coincidence. The brand name is rooted in its 10-year replacement warranty on axle shafts and driveshafts — a statement of confidence that few competitors can match. This warranty reflects the brand's commitment to standing behind every part it makes, long after the sale.
A Complete Drivetrain Parts Lineup
TEN Factory's core strength lies in its axle shaft assemblies and individual axle shafts, available for a wide range of vehicles including Jeep Wranglers, Cherokees, GM trucks, Dodge applications, and more. These kits often include wheel bearings, wheel seals, and factory-size studs for a complete, straightforward installation. Beyond axles, TEN Factory — leveraging its relationship with Motive Gear's broader drivetrain catalog — also offers drive shafts in 4140 chromoly construction, as well as driveline hardware such as drive shaft pinion yokes and protective components like axle dust shields to keep your drivetrain sealed against the elements.
Whether you're upgrading a stock axle that was never designed for larger tires and aggressive off-road use, or building a purpose-driven performance machine from the ground up, TEN Factory delivers the kind of product depth and quality assurance that makes it a go-to name in the drivetrain community.
