Parts for your 2019 Haval H6-Bump stops

2019 Haval H6 bump-stops: what they are, why they matter, and when to replace them

Yes—bump-stops are fitted to the 2019 Haval H6. In Haval technical literature and EPC listings for this model year, the part is typically described as a shock absorber buffer/jounce bumper on the front MacPherson struts and a matching buffer on the rear suspension. That aligns with standard MacPherson and multi-link suspension design used industry-wide, where a jounce bumper (bump-stop) sits under the dust boot on the damper rod to prevent hard bottoming and to tune the last part of suspension travel.

On the H6, the bump-stops act like a soft, progressive cushion when the suspension compresses deeply—think speed humps, potholes, corrugations, or a fully loaded boot. They protect struts, springs, top mounts, and control arms from harsh metal-to-metal contact, help stabilise the body over big hits, and keep ride quality and noise under control. They’re small, but they punch well above their weight in comfort and component protection.

Because they’re made from rubber or microcellular polyurethane foam, bump-stops can crack, perish, or turn mushy if soaked in oil from a leaking strut. A good servicing habit for a 2019 Haval H6 is to have the bump-stops and dust boots inspected at regular services (every 10–15,000 km or annually) and any time shocks/struts are replaced.

• Tell-tale signs: dull thuds over bumps, frequent bottoming-out, torn dust boots, or visible crumbling of the stop.
• Best practice: replace in axle pairs (both fronts or both rears), and renew the dust boots at the same time.
• Workshop tip: the front stops live on the strut shaft under the boot, so the strut usually comes out and the spring is compressed to swap them. If a strut is removed, a wheel alignment is recommended.
• Parts choice: genuine or quality aftermarket is fine—just match the exact H6 generation/engine and suspension variant.

Owners who tow, carry gear, or tackle rough country roads should be extra vigilant—bump-stops see more action under load. They don’t lift the vehicle and they’re not a fix for tired springs, but healthy stops will keep the H6 quieter, kinder to its suspension, and more composed when the road turns ugly.

Popular questions about 2019 Haval H6 bump-stops

Does the 2019 Haval H6 actually have bump-stops?
Yes. The model uses jounce bumpers (often called buffers in parts catalogues) on the front MacPherson struts and on the rear suspension. This is standard practice noted in Haval’s service information and parts listings for the 2019 H6.

How often should H6 bump-stops be replaced?
There’s no fixed interval. Have them inspected at each service or when replacing shocks/struts. Many owners end up renewing them somewhere around 80–120,000 km, or sooner if there’s oil contamination, cracking, or bottoming-out noises.

Do I need a wheel alignment after replacing the bump-stops?
If the front struts are removed to access the stops, yes—book an alignment. If only the rear stops are changed without disturbing alignment points, it’s often not necessary, but many workshops still check it to be safe.
