Parts for your 2020 Haval H6-Coil springs

2020 Haval H6 coil springs — purpose, care and when to replace

Coil springs are absolutely relevant to the 2020 Haval H6. Technical sources including GWM/Haval service literature for the H6 on the LEMON platform, the 2020 Haval H6 owner’s manual, and independent spec databases used by workshops confirm a MacPherson strut front suspension with coil springs and a multi-link independent rear, also with coil springs. So yes — this model rides on coils at both ends.

On the 2020 H6, the coil springs carry the vehicle’s weight, set ride height and work with the struts/shocks and anti-roll bars to smooth bumps, keep the tyres planted and control body motion. That balance is what gives the H6 its everyday comfort around town and stability on the open road. Coils also help the H6 manage loads — passengers, luggage, a light tow — by resisting sag and maintaining geometry so braking and steering stay consistent.

Coil springs aren’t a set-interval service item, but they do age. Australian and New Zealand roads, corrugations, coastal salt air and heavier loads can speed up corrosion and fatigue. It’s good practice for workshops to inspect them at every service or at least every 20,000 km, especially before long trips or after any suspension knock. Look for paint flaking, rust pitting (particularly on the lower coils), cracked ends, or a car that sits lower one side.

• Common signs of tired or damaged coils:
  • Uneven ride height or a “tail-down” stance
  • Clunks over speed humps or sharp bumps
  • Excessive body roll or floaty feel
  • Uneven tyre wear that an alignment doesn’t fix

When replacing, best practice is pairs per axle to keep handling balanced. Many techs will also assess struts/shocks, upper mounts, isolators and bump stops at the same time — if the damper is weak, it can shorten the life of a new spring. Always use proper spring compressors, loaded coils store serious energy. After any spring work, a four-wheel alignment is recommended. Typical labour is around 1.5–2.5 hours per axle depending on equipment and corrosion. Quality OE-equivalent springs are a safe pick, performance or lift options exist but should be matched to appropriate dampers and kept within local compliance rules.

As part of routine servicing on a 2020 Haval H6, a quick ride-height check, a visual look for corrosion and broken pigtails, and a road test for noises will keep the coil springs and the rest of the suspension happy for the long haul.

Popular questions about 2020 Haval H6 coil springs

Do the 2020 Haval H6 models use coil springs front and rear?
Yes. Workshop specifications for the 2020 H6 list a MacPherson strut front suspension with coil springs and a multi-link independent rear with coil springs. Both ends use coils to set ride height and support the dampers.

When should the coil springs be replaced on a 2020 Haval H6?
There’s no fixed kilometre interval. Replace if a spring is cracked, sagging, heavily rusted, or if ride height is uneven. In local conditions, many last well past 100,000 km, but heavy loads, rough roads or coastal exposure can bring that forward. Regular inspections at service time are the best guide.

Can a 2020 Haval H6 be fitted with lift or lowering springs?
It can, and there are aftermarket options. However, changes in ride height affect damper matching, alignment, CV angles and ESC/ADAS calibration. Use reputable kits, pair them with suitable dampers, get a post-fitment alignment, and check local rules in Australia and New Zealand for compliance and insurance implications.
