Parts for your 2019 Haval H6-Centre bearing

2019 Haval H6 centre-bearing: what’s actually fitted

Chasing a centre-bearing for a 2019 Haval H6? On Australian and New Zealand delivered models, there isn’t one. Technical references including Haval/GWM 2019 H6 spec sheets for AU/NZ, RedBook drivetrain listings, and second‑generation H6 workshop manual driveline diagrams all show a transverse engine with a front transaxle driving the front wheels only. With no rear differential or propeller shaft in these markets, there’s no need—or provision—for a centre support bearing.

Centre-bearings (also called centre support bearings) live on long, two‑piece prop shafts used in rear‑ or all‑wheel drive layouts to support the shaft mid‑span and control vibration. The 2019 H6 sold locally is front‑wheel drive, so it uses short front half‑shafts instead of a longitudinal prop shaft. That’s why there’s no centre-bearing on this vehicle.

Worth noting: the H6 does have a right‑hand front intermediate (jack) shaft with its own support bearing, which is sometimes mistaken for a centre-bearing. It’s a different component: it supports the short driveshaft between the gearbox and the RH CV axle to balance shaft lengths and reduce torque steer. If you’re tracking down a rumble or vibration and thought “centre-bearing,” this intermediate bearing could be what you’re actually after.

If the H6 is showing vibrations under load, humming that changes with road speed, or a thump on take‑off, look elsewhere in the front‑drive setup:

• Front CV joints and boots
• RH intermediate shaft support bearing (for play or roughness)
• Engine and transmission mounts
• Front wheel bearings and tyre condition/balancing
• Driveshafts for dents, bends, or imbalance

Parts catalogues for AU/NZ VIN ranges won’t list a centre-bearing for the 2019 H6 because the platform here simply doesn’t use one. If ordering driveline parts, match by VIN and confirm whether you need the RH intermediate shaft support bearing or a complete half‑shaft assembly. This avoids chasing a part that doesn’t exist on the local spec.

Does the 2019 Haval H6 have a centre-bearing?

No. Australian and New Zealand 2019 H6 models are front‑wheel drive with no rear prop shaft, so there’s no centre-bearing fitted. If someone mentions it, they’re likely thinking of the RH intermediate shaft support bearing.

What should be checked for vibration if there’s no centre-bearing?

Start with front CV joints, the RH intermediate shaft support bearing, engine/gearbox mounts, front wheel bearings, and tyre balance or flat spots. Road‑speed‑related hums often point to wheel bearings, load‑related shudders can be CVs, mounts, or the intermediate bearing.

Is there an intermediate shaft bearing on the 2019 H6, and how do you spot wear?

Yes—on the right‑hand driveshaft. Signs include a growl or rumble that rises with speed, noticeable play at the bearing when the shaft is levered, and vibration on throttle that eases off when coasting. Any looseness or rough rotation means it’s due for replacement.
