Parts for your 2018 Haval H6-Cv boots

2018 Haval H6 CV-boots: what they do and when to replace them

Technical sources confirm the 2018 Haval H6 is fitted with CV-boots on its front drive shafts (and on the rear if AWD). The Haval/Great Wall Motors H6 Workshop Manual (2017–2019, Front Drive Shaft section) details inner and outer constant-velocity joints protected by rubber boots, and the GWM Electronic Parts Catalogue lists inner/outer CV-boot components for the H6 in this period. Industry data sets used by workshops in ANZ (e.g., Autodata/HaynesPro applications) also provide service operations and parts for H6 CV-boots. So yes—CV-boots are relevant to the 2018 Haval H6.

On a 2018 Haval H6, the CV-boots are the flexible rubber sleeves that seal the CV joints on the drive shafts. Their job’s simple but crucial: keep the special moly grease in, and keep grit, water, and dust out. That’s what lets the joints articulate smoothly as the wheels steer and the suspension moves, without grinding themselves to bits.

For owners who commute and weekender alike, a quick look at the boots during routine servicing pays off. In Aussie and Kiwi conditions—heat, UV, gravel roads, roadworks—rubber can harden and crack. A split boot will usually show up as dark grease flung around the inner guard, strut, or wheel. Catch it early and it’s a straightforward boot-and-grease job, leave it, and the joint can wear fast, leading to that tell-tale clicking on turns or vibration under load, and a pricier axle replacement.

Good practice on a 2018 H6 is to inspect CV-boots at each service interval, or at least every 10,000–15,000 kilometres. If a boot’s perished, torn, or the clamps are loose, replace the boot and repack with the correct CV grease. Quality matters—go for OEM or reputable aftermarket boots (neoprene or thermoplastic elastomer), new stainless clamps, and the right grease pack. When fitting, clean the joint thoroughly, avoid stretching or nicking the new boot, crimp clamps properly, and finish with the correct axle-nut torque to manufacturer spec.

• Watch for: grease spray near the wheel, clicking on full lock, vibration on acceleration.
• Driving with a split boot isn’t wise—water and grit can wreck a joint quickly.
• AWD H6 models also have rear axle CV-boots—inspect those as well.

Whether doing preventative maintenance or fixing a torn boot on the 2018 Haval H6, getting on top of it early keeps the driveline quiet, smooth, and wallet-friendly.

Popular questions

How often should CV-boots be checked on a 2018 Haval H6?
They’re best checked at every routine service or tyre rotation—roughly every 10,000–15,000 km. If the vehicle sees gravel, beach launches, or lots of stop–start city work, it’s smart to inspect a bit more often. Early detection of a weep or small crack can save the CV joint.

Can a damaged CV-boot be replaced without changing the whole driveshaft?
Yes, if the joint hasn’t been contaminated or worn. A proper boot kit includes the boot, clamps, and grease. If the joint’s already noisy or gritty, a complete shaft assembly can be more cost-effective and reliable.

What are the signs a CV-boot has failed on an H6?
Look for grease splatter on the inside of the wheel or guard, rubber cracks or splits, and dirt stuck to wet grease near the joint. If the joint’s been exposed for a while, expect clicking on turns or a shudder under acceleration.
