Parts for your 2020 Haval H6-Cv boots

2020 Haval H6 CV boots: what they do and how to look after them

Based on technical references, the 2020 Haval H6 does use CV boots. The Haval/GWM workshop manual for 2017–2020 H6 (Front Axle – Driveshaft section) and the GWM electronic parts catalogue for MY2020 list front driveshafts with inner and outer constant velocity (CV) joints, each protected by elastomer boots. For AWD variants, the rear half‑shafts are likewise shown with CV joints and protective boots. Independent OE‑equivalent parts catalogues for the 2020 H6 also list replacement CV boot kits for both front and (on AWD) rear axles. That confirms CV boots are relevant service items on this model.

A CV boot is the flexible rubber (or thermoplastic) sleeve that seals a CV joint at each end of the driveshaft. On the 2020 Haval H6, these boots keep special high‑moly grease in and moisture, grit and road grime out, so the joint can articulate smoothly as the wheels steer and the suspension moves. Once a boot cracks or splits, grease is flung out and contaminants rush in, rapidly wearing the joint. Left too long, that turns into the classic clicking on turns, vibration on acceleration, and eventually a failed CV joint.

Good servicing for a H6 in Australia or New Zealand means checking the CV boots every service. A quick look from under the bonnet and underneath on a hoist will usually spot trouble early. If there’s grease misted around the inner rim of the wheel, on the strut, or along the undertray, that’s a red flag. Also look for perishing, fine cracks, loose clamps, or boots that feel hard and plasticky.

If a boot is damaged but the joint hasn’t started clicking, a boot‑only repair is smart and cost‑effective. That involves cleaning the joint, packing fresh CV grease, and fitting an OE‑quality boot with new stainless clamps. Replace in pairs left/right if wear looks similar. If there’s noise or play, go for a complete shaft or joint replacement to avoid doing the job twice. Always torque the hub nut to spec, and book a wheel alignment if the knuckle’s been disturbed.

• Tell‑tale symptoms: grease splatter, clicking on full lock, shudder under load.
• Service tip: avoid solvent on rubber boots, use proper CV moly grease only.
• Interval: inspect every scheduled service or after rough, gravel, or beach driving.

Popular questions about 2020 Haval H6 CV boots

Do all 2020 Haval H6 models have CV boots?

Yes. All FWD H6 variants have CV boots on the front driveshafts. AWD models also have CV boots on the rear half‑shafts. They’re essential for sealing the CV joints that let the shafts flex while driving and steering.

Can a torn CV boot be repaired without replacing the whole driveshaft?

Often, yes. If the joint hasn’t been running dry or making noise, a technician can clean it, repack with fresh CV grease, and fit a new boot and clamps. If there’s clicking or excess play, a complete joint or shaft is the safer fix.

What are the signs my H6 needs CV boot attention?

Look for grease sprayed around the inside of a wheel or along suspension arms, visible cracks in the boot, or a burnt‑rubber smell after a long drive. Clicking on turns or vibration on acceleration points to joint wear that started with a leaking boot.
