Parts for your 2018 Haval H6-Brake shoes

2018 Haval H6 brake-shoes: are they used, and what should owners service instead?

Short answer: brake-shoes aren’t fitted to the 2018 Haval H6. That model runs four-wheel disc brakes with an electronic parking brake (EPB) that clamps the rear brake pads, not a drum-style setup that would need shoes.

This is backed by technical sources including the 2018 Haval H6 Owner’s Manual (Brakes and Parking Brake sections), Haval/Great Wall global service manuals for the H6 platform (Brake System—EPB motor-on-caliper), and OEM parts catalogues for the rear axle assembly, all of which list ventilated front discs, solid rear discs and an EPB integrated into the rear calipers—no drum-in-hat parking brake and no brake-shoes.

Why no brake-shoes? Brake-shoes are used with drum brakes, or sometimes as small “drum-in-hat” parking brake shoes inside a rear disc. The H6’s EPB is a motor-on-caliper design that squeezes the regular rear pads to hold the car. That means there’s nothing inside the rotor hat—no separate shoes to replace or adjust.

Seen “brake-shoes” listed online for a 2018 H6? That’s usually catalogue noise or parts tagged for other Haval/Great Wall models. For ANZ-spec 2018 H6 vehicles, the correct friction parts are brake pads and rotors, not shoes. If there’s any doubt, match by VIN against an official Haval EPC.

What owners should focus on during servicing:

• Rear brake pads and rotors: inspect thickness, glazing and run-out
