Parts for your 2020 Haval H6-Centre bearing

2020 Haval H6 centre-bearing — is it even a thing?

For Australia and New Zealand–spec 2020 Haval H6 models, a centre-bearing isn’t fitted and isn’t required. The ANZ H6 of that year runs a front-wheel-drive layout with a transversely mounted engine and a front transaxle, so there’s no long propeller shaft running to the rear of the vehicle. Without a multi-piece prop shaft, there’s nothing for a centre support bearing to carry, which is why this part doesn’t appear in the local parts catalogues or service procedures.

Technical sources supporting this: the Haval/GWM H6 Owner’s Manual and ANZ specification sheets list the drivetrain as front-wheel drive, Australian market guides such as RedBook also show FWD across 2020 trims, and the GWM/Haval electronic parts catalogue for ANZ H6 variants doesn’t list a propeller shaft or centre support bearing assembly.

• Haval/GWM H6 Owner’s Manual (ANZ, 2019–2020): drivetrain listed as FWD, no propeller shaft service items
• H6 Australia/NZ Specifications and Brochures (2019–2020): models marketed as 2WD/FWD only
• Australian RedBook database (2020 Haval H6): drive type shown as Front Wheel Drive
• GWM/Haval EPC (ANZ region): no centre support bearing or prop shaft assembly for 2020 H6

Why it isn’t used: a centre-bearing is designed to support a long, two-piece propeller shaft in vehicles with rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. The 2020 H6 sold in AU/NZ doesn’t have a rear differential or a longitudinal prop shaft, so the driveline stops at the front wheels. The front axle uses short driveshafts with CV joints, and those components are supported by the transaxle and suspension—not by a centre support bearing.

What owners should do instead: if a workshop suggests “centre-bearing” work on a 2020 H6 in Australia or New Zealand, it’s worth double-checking the quote. Driveline noises or vibrations on these cars are more commonly related to front CV joints, driveshafts, wheel bearings, engine/transmission mounts, tyres, or alignment. If the vehicle is a private import from a market where AWD was offered, confirm the exact spec by VIN with a GWM/Haval dealer or by visual inspection under the car for a prop shaft and centre support bracket.

Popular questions about the 2020 Haval H6 centre-bearing

Does the 2020 Haval H6 have a centre-bearing?
No, not on Australia and New Zealand–delivered models. They’re front-wheel drive, so there’s no rear propeller shaft and no need for a centre support bearing. This lines up with the ANZ owner’s manual, local spec sheets and the regional parts catalogue, all of which omit any centre-bearing listing.

What driveline parts should be checked instead on a 2020 H6?
For vibration or knocking complaints, technicians typically check front CV joints, driveshafts, wheel bearings, engine and transmission mounts, and tyre balance or alignment. These are the usual suspects on a FWD H6 because there’s no centre-bearing in the system.

How can someone tell if their H6 (e.g., a private import) actually has a centre-bearing?
Look underneath: a vehicle with a centre-bearing will have a long, two-piece propeller shaft running to a rear differential, with a rubber-mounted support bracket roughly mid-way. Owners can also confirm by VIN with a GWM/Haval dealer or through the official parts catalogue for their market.
