Parts for your 2020 Haval H6-Control arms

2020 Haval H6 Control Arms

Control arms are absolutely used on the 2020 Haval H6. Technical documentation lists a MacPherson strut front suspension with a lower control arm and an independent multi-link rear, which uses multiple control arms. See: Haval H6 (2017–2020) Service Manual – Chassis/Front Suspension, Haval H6 Parts Catalogue – Chassis Group (front lower control arm, rear lateral/track control arms), and the 2020 Haval H6 Owner’s Manual – Specifications (suspension types). These sources confirm the H6 runs control arms at both ends.

On this model, the control arms tie the wheels to the body while allowing the suspension to move freely. Up front, the lower arm locates the hub and carries the load from the MacPherson strut, keeping steering precise. Down the back, the multi-link layout uses several arms to manage camber and toe through the suspension’s travel, giving the H6 a tidy, planted feel on Aussie and Kiwi roads.

For servicing, there’s no fixed replacement interval, but the arms and their bushings and ball joints should be inspected at every routine service (around 10,000–15,000 km). Look for cracked or oil-soaked bushes, split ball joint boots, loose ball joints, and any bent arms from kerb strikes or potholes. If the vehicle starts tramlining, clunking over bumps, or wearing the inner or outer edges of the tyres, it’s time for a closer look.

When replacement is on the cards, swapping the complete arm (with pre-pressed bushes and, on many fronts, an integrated ball joint) is often the most reliable approach. Fit quality components, tighten pivot bolts at normal ride height so the bushes aren’t preloaded, and always book a four-wheel alignment straight after. It’s smart to replace control arms in axle pairs to keep handling even side to side. Rough roads, towing, or bigger wheels can accelerate wear, so shorten inspection intervals if the H6 sees that sort of work.

• Common symptoms: clunks on take-off or braking, vague steering, instability on corrugations, uneven tyre wear.
• Best practice: replace hardware where specified, verify torque settings, and check sway bar links and strut mounts at the same time.
• Post-repair: complete alignment to factory specs, recheck fasteners after a few hundred kilometres.

Treat the control arms as core to ride comfort and safety. Kept in good nick, they help the H6 steer straight, stop true, and preserve those pricey tyres.

Popular questions about 2020 Haval H6 control arms

How long do control arm bushes last on a 2020 H6?
Many owners see 80,000–150,000 km from the original bushes, but life varies with road conditions, load, and driving style. Frequent gravel or urban speed bumps can shorten their lifespan. Regular inspections will catch small cracks or perishing before they affect tyre wear and handling.

Can the bushes be replaced, or does the whole control arm need changing?
Both paths are possible. Front arms are commonly replaced as a complete assembly (bushes and ball joint included) for longevity and convenience. Rear multi-link arms may be available individually. Pressing bushes into old arms is doable with the right kit, but complete arms usually save time and reduce comeback risk.

Do I need a wheel alignment after replacing control arms?
Yes, a four-wheel alignment is recommended every time control arm work is done. On the H6, toe is adjustable and small camber changes can occur when arms are disturbed. An alignment brings steering back on centre and protects tyre wear.
