Parts for your 2019 Haval H6-Universal joints

2019 Haval H6 universal joints — are they used on this model?

Short answer: universal joints aren’t a service item on the 2019 Haval H6. The model uses constant velocity (CV) joints on the front drive shafts, and AWD variants use a CV-jointed propeller shaft with a centre support bearing rather than traditional cross-type universal joints. That’s how the factory literature and parts listings describe the driveline for this platform.

Technical references that support this:

• Great Wall Motors/Haval H6 Workshop Manual (2017–2020), Driveline/Axle and Transfer Case sections — specifies CV joints on front halfshafts and a CV-jointed prop shaft for AWD, with no serviceable cross-type U-joints listed.
• Great Wall Motors Electronic Parts Catalogue (EPC) for 2019 H6 — parts entries for “Front drive shaft assy (CVJ)” and “Propeller shaft assy (CVJ)”, plus a centre bearing on AWD, no separate universal joint components.
• Supplier literature for the on-demand AWD system used on H6 variants (BorgWarner-style coupling and rear drive module) — typically paired with a CV-jointed prop shaft for NVH control and plunge capability.

Why universal joints aren’t used here: the H6’s front-drive layout relies on CV joints to maintain constant rotational speed while steering and moving through suspension travel. CVs also handle axial plunge, which a simple cross-type U-joint can’t do without a slip joint. On modern crossovers, engineers prefer CV joints on the propeller shaft too because they’re smoother, quieter, and better for vibration control than a single cardan U-joint. Using CVs means fewer driveline speed fluctuations, better refinement, and less maintenance (there are no greasable U-joints to service).

What owners should actually keep an eye on: CV boots (front and rear if AWD) for splits and grease leaks, any clicking on full lock (classic CV wear sign), driveline vibration under load, and the AWD prop shaft’s centre support bearing condition. These checks fit neatly into routine servicing intervals and will catch issues earlier than waiting for a rattle or clunk.

Does the 2019 Haval H6 have universal joints?

No. The H6 uses CV joints on the front halfshafts and, on AWD models, a CV-jointed propeller shaft with a centre support bearing. There aren’t separate, serviceable cross-type universal joints listed for this model year.

What symptoms point to driveline joint wear on a 2019 Haval H6?

Listen for clicking on tight turns (front CV outer joint), vibration or shudder on acceleration (could be inner CV or prop shaft/centre bearing on AWD), and any grease sling around a torn boot. Addressing boots early can save the joint.

What should be inspected instead of universal joints during servicing?

Check CV boots and clamps for splits or leaks, joint play at the shafts, and, on AWD versions, the prop shaft’s centre support bearing and coupling rubbers. A quick road test for vibration under load completes the picture.
