Parts for your 2019 Haval H6-Strut mounts

2019 Haval H6 strut-mounts: what they do and when to replace them

From technical sources including the Haval H6 (second generation, 2017–2020) workshop literature and official spec sheets showing a front MacPherson strut suspension, plus aftermarket catalogues from major suppliers (e.g., KYB and Monroe) that list front strut-mounts for this model, it’s clear the 2019 Haval H6 is fitted with front strut-mounts. The rear uses a multi-link layout with separate springs and dampers, so the “strut-mount” reference applies to the front axle.

On the 2019 H6, the strut-mounts sit at the top of the front struts, bolted to the strut towers under the bonnet. Each mount includes a rubber isolator and a bearing that lets the strut rotate as the steering turns. Their job is to support vehicle weight, isolate vibration and harshness, and keep steering feel smooth and predictable. When they wear, owners often notice clunks over bumps, vague steering, or a graunching/creaking noise when turning at low speed.

Service advice for the H6’s front strut-mounts is straightforward. They’re a wear item, typically lasting 80,000–150,000 kilometres depending on roads and load. Rough corrugations, speed humps hit too hard, or a minor front-end knock can shorten that lifespan. During routine servicing, a quick check under the bonnet for perished rubber, cracking around the mount, or rust at the tower is worthwhile. With the front lifted, any free play while rocking the strut top, or notchiness as the steering moves, points to a tired bearing.

• Common symptoms: front-end clunks, steering stiffness or “return to centre” lag, vibration through the wheel, and uneven tyre wear (feathering).
• Best practice replacement: do both fronts together, fit quality OE-equivalent mounts and bearings, and book a wheel alignment straight after.
• Fitment tips for pros: mark mount orientation, use a proper spring compressor, torque with the vehicle at ride height where specified, and inspect top nuts and dust boots.

A noisy strut-mount can be driven on for a short stint, but leaving it too long risks scalloped tyres and can stress other suspension bits. For anyone keeping a 2019 Haval H6 tidy and quiet on Aussie or Kiwi roads, fresh front strut-mounts restore steering feel and cabin comfort beautifully.

Popular questions about 2019 Haval H6 strut-mounts

Where are the strut-mounts on a 2019 Haval H6?
The strut-mounts are at the top of the front struts, bolted to the towers under the bonnet. The rear of the H6 is multi-link, so it uses separate dampers and springs rather than a MacPherson strut with a top mount.

How long do the strut-mounts last, and when should they be replaced?
Many last 80,000–150,000 kilometres, but rough roads and heavy loads bring that forward. Replace when there’s clunking, steering notchiness, visible cracking of the rubber, or during a front-end refresh with new struts or springs.

Is a wheel alignment needed after replacing the strut-mounts?
Yes. Any time the front struts are disturbed, an alignment is smart practice to protect tyres and keep the H6 tracking straight.
