Parts for your 2017 Haval H6-Coil springs

2017 Haval H6 Coil Springs

Coil springs are fitted to the 2017 Haval H6. Technical sources including the 2017 Haval H6 Owner’s Manual (Great Wall Motors, Chassis & Suspension section), Haval H6 2017 brochure/specification sheets, and Chinese-market technical listings (Autohome/BitAuto) state a MacPherson strut front suspension with coil springs and an independent multi-link rear suspension with coil springs.

On this model, the coil springs carry the vehicle’s weight, set the ride height, and work with the struts/shock absorbers to soak up bumps and keep tyres planted. They also help manage body roll in corners, nose-dive under braking, and squat when accelerating. When they’re healthy, the H6 feels settled and confident over rough country roads and city speed humps alike.

While coil springs don’t need routine replacement on a time basis, they do age. Hard impacts, heavy loads, repeated corrugations, and corrosion can cause sagging or, in worst cases, a cracked coil. For Aussie and Kiwi conditions, it’s smart to have them inspected at every service interval (around 10,000–15,000 km). A technician should check for chipped or flaking paint, rust pitting, uneven ride height, broken pigtails, and any coil-to-seat noise.

• Common signs they need attention: a noticeable lean, clunks over bumps, harsh ride, bottoming out, or unusual/uneven tyre wear.
• Best practice: replace springs in axle pairs (both fronts or both rears) to keep ride height and handling even.

If replacement is on the cards, stick with OE-equivalent rates for factory ride and balance, or consider quality uprated springs if the H6 regularly tows or carries loads. It’s sensible to renew related bits at the same time—strut mounts/bearings, insulators, dust boots, and bump stops—and always book a wheel alignment afterwards. Because springs are under serious tension, this is not a DIY-without-the-right-gear job, safe removal needs the correct spring compressors and torqueing of fasteners at normal ride height.

A little care goes a long way: avoid overloading, rinse off salt and mud that can trap moisture around the coils, and keep shock absorbers in good nick—weak shocks can hammer the springs and shorten their life. Look after the coil springs and the 2017 Haval H6 will keep riding level, quiet, and sure-footed.

How long do Haval H6 coil springs last?

There’s no fixed expiry, but many last well beyond 150,000 km. Rough roads, towing, and corrosion shorten their lifespan. Inspect at every service and replace in axle pairs if there’s sagging, cracks, or persistent noise.

Should coil springs be replaced with shocks/struts on the H6?

Not automatically, but it’s often efficient. If shocks/struts are worn and the H6 has high kilometres or uneven ride height, doing springs, mounts, and related hardware together restores ride and saves double labour.

Can stiffer springs improve towing stability?

Quality uprated springs can reduce rear sag and improve stability with a loaded boot or towball weight. Balance them with matched dampers and always stay within the H6’s rated towing and payload limits.
