Parts for your 2020 Haval H6-Steering bushes

2020 Haval H6 steering bushes — are they even a thing?

Short answer: steering bushes aren’t a separate, serviceable part on the 2020 Haval H6. Technical references — specifically Haval/GWM workshop literature for the H6 steering system (Electric Power Steering section) and the Haval/GWM Electronic Parts Catalogue (EPC) covering the 2020 model year — show the H6 uses an electric power–assisted rack-and-pinion steering gear that’s bolted directly to the front subframe and supplied as a complete assembly. Those sources don’t list standalone steering rack mounting bushes or column bushes as service items, and mainstream aftermarket catalogues for AU/NZ list tie rod ends and complete racks, not “steering bush” kits for this model.

Why’s that? With EPS, the steering gear needs a rigid mount for precision and for the torque sensor to read inputs cleanly. Noise, vibration and harshness are handled by the subframe and control arm bushes, while internal polymer guides inside the rack housing keep the rack bar centred — these guides aren’t designed to be replaced on their own. So when owners go looking for “steering bushes” on a 2020 H6, they’re usually chasing looseness or a knock that’s actually coming from other front-end components.

If the steering feels vague, pulls, or clunks over bumps, a technician will typically check:

• Inner and outer tie rod ends for play
• Front lower control arm bushes (particularly rear “hydro” bushes) and ball joints
• Stabiliser (sway) bar links and D-bushes
• Steering column universal joints and intermediate shaft
• Rack-to-subframe fastener torque and subframe alignment

For servicing, there’s no scheduled replacement of “steering bushes” on this vehicle. Good practice is to inspect the front-end each service, rotate tyres, keep wheel alignment within spec, and ensure EPS calibrations are up to date after any alignment or subframe work. If the rack itself develops internal wear or motor/sensor faults, the fix is typically a complete steering gear replacement rather than bushing replacement.

Popular questions

Does the 2020 Haval H6 have replaceable steering rack bushes?
No. The EPS rack is a sealed, rigidly mounted assembly with no separate rack bush kits listed by Haval/GWM or common AU/NZ aftermarket suppliers. Play is more likely from tie rod ends or control arm bushes.

What should be checked if there’s a clunk or vague steering?
Start with inner/outer tie rods, lower control arm bushes and ball joints, and sway bar links/bushes. Also confirm the rack mounting bolts are torqued correctly and the alignment is within spec after any suspension work.

Can steering bushes be retrofitted to firm up the steering feel?
Not on this model. Because the rack design doesn’t use separate service bushes, retrofitting isn’t supported. Improving feel usually comes from addressing tyre pressures, alignment settings, worn front-end components, and ensuring the EPS is calibrated.
