Parts for your 2019 Haval H6-Steering bushes

2019 Haval H6 steering-bushes — are they even a thing?

Short answer: steering-bushes aren’t a separate, serviceable part on the 2019 Haval H6. The factory Workshop Manual for the H6 (model years 2017–2020, covering MY2019) in the Steering — Electric Power Steering section shows an EPS rack that bolts directly to the front subframe. The H6 Electronic Parts Catalogue lists the steering gear as a complete assembly with serviceable inner/outer tie-rod ends, but no standalone rack-mount “steering-bushes”. That’s why a search for 2019 Haval H6 steering-bushes won’t turn up an OE part number.

Why no bushes? Modern electric racks are designed for precise assistance and alignment stability. Instead of big rubber isolators, the rack uses rigid mounting and tuned compliance inside the housing and subframe. Any small isolators present are integral to the rack and not supplied separately. So if there’s movement or noise at the rack mounts, the remedy is typically replacement of the steering gear assembly, not bushes.

What should owners and workshops look at instead? If the H6 shows vague steering, a clunk over bumps, or uneven tyre wear, the common culprits are:

• Outer tie-rod ends and inner rack ends for play
• Lower control arm bushes and ball joints (front suspension)
• Sway bar D-bushes and links for knocks
• Steering column universal joints for stiffness or notchiness

If the rack itself needs replacing, follow the Workshop Manual procedure: disconnect battery (EPS), remove the rack, reinstall with new fasteners where specified, then carry out a steering angle sensor reset/initialisation and a full wheel alignment. As part of routine servicing, a quick inspection of tie-rods, column joints, and front suspension bushes, plus checking subframe torque and road-testing for EPS noise or assist faults, will keep the H6 pointing straight and feeling tidy.

Popular questions

Does the 2019 Haval H6 have steering rack bushes I can replace?
No. The H6 uses an electric power steering rack that mounts directly to the subframe and is supplied as a complete assembly. Only the tie-rod ends are treated as service items, there are no separate rack-mount steering-bushes listed in the factory parts catalogue.

What should be checked if there’s free play or a clunk in the steering?
Start with outer tie-rod ends and inner rack ends, then check lower control arm bushes and ball joints, plus sway bar links and D-bushes. Also inspect the steering column U-joints. If movement is traced to the rack housing or mounts, the fix is usually a replacement rack and a wheel alignment, followed by an EPS/steering angle calibration.

Can aftermarket polyurethane steering-bushes be fitted to a 2019 H6?
Not realistically. Because the rack mounts aren’t designed with removable bushes, there isn’t an off-the-shelf poly bush kit for this model. Attempting to modify the rack mounts isn’t recommended, it can affect NVH and steering behaviour. Stick with OE-style repairs and alignment procedures.
