2019 Haval H6 Control-Arms — What They Do and When to Replace Them

Yes, the 2019 Haval H6 definitely uses control-arms. Technical sources such as the official GWM/Haval H6 Workshop Manual (2017–2020), the H6 Illustrated/ Electronic Parts Catalogue, and independent repair databases (e.g., Autodata/HaynesPro) all show a MacPherson strut front suspension with lower control-arms and a rear multi-link assembly that uses multiple control-arms. So control-arms are absolutely relevant to this model.

On the H6, the control-arms locate the wheel hubs relative to the body, letting the suspension move up and down while keeping alignment angles in check. Up front, each lower control-arm ties the steering knuckle to the subframe via rubber bushes and a ball joint, helping manage cornering loads and braking stability. Out back, the multi-link setup uses several arms to fine-tune geometry for ride comfort and tyre grip. The bushes soak up vibration, while the ball joints allow smooth articulation.

For day-to-day servicing in Australia and New Zealand, it’s smart to get the control-arms and bushes inspected every service or at least every 20,000 km, especially if the H6 sees rough roads, corrugations, or regular towing. Tell-tale signs they’re due include clunks over bumps, steering shimmy, uneven tyre wear, wandering on the motorway, or a knock when braking or accelerating.

• Look for cracked, oil-soaked, or split bushes and any play in ball joints.
• Check torn ball-joint boots and corrosion on arms and mounting points.
• If any component has play, replace the worn bush/ball joint or the whole arm.

When it’s time to replace: go for quality OEM-equivalent arms or bushes. Replacing in axle pairs (both fronts or both rears of the same type) keeps handling even. Always tighten suspension fasteners at normal ride height to avoid bush preload, and follow the Haval torque specs from the workshop manual. After any control-arm or bush work, book a full four-wheel alignment—camber and toe can shift noticeably, particularly with the H6’s multi-link rear end.

If the vehicle has a shimmy under braking, the front lower control-arm rear bushes are common suspects, for a floaty rear or rapid inner-edge tyre wear, check the rear lower and upper arms closely. A quick check during a routine service can save a set of tyres and keep the H6 driving nicely.

Popular questions about 2019 Haval H6 control-arms

Does the 2019 Haval H6 have front and rear control-arms?
Yes. Up front it runs MacPherson struts with lower control-arms. The rear uses a multi-link layout with several control-arms to manage wheel alignment and ride quality.

How long do H6 control-arm bushes usually last?
Anywhere from about 60,000 to 120,000 km depending on road conditions and driving style. Aussie and Kiwi roads with potholes, gravel, and corrugations can shorten bush life. Regular inspections and prompt replacement when cracks or play appear will protect tyres and handling.

Do I need a wheel alignment after replacing control-arms?
Absolutely. Any change to arms, bushes, or ball joints alters geometry. A four-wheel alignment ensures correct camber and toe, better tyre wear, and stable steering.
