Parts for your 2020 Haval H6-Strut mounts

2020 Haval H6 strut mounts — what they do and when to replace them

Technical sources list the 2020 Haval H6 with MacPherson strut front suspension and a multi-link rear, which means strut mounts are indeed fitted at the front. This layout is documented in the Haval H6 workshop manual and mainstream service data platforms (e.g., Autodata/HaynesPro), and supported by aftermarket catalogues from major suspension brands that supply front strut top mounts for the 2017–2021 H6.

On the 2020 Haval H6, the strut mounts sit at the top of each front strut, bolting the suspension to the body. They isolate noise and vibration, support the vehicle’s weight via the spring/strut assembly, and, with their integrated bearing, let the strut rotate smoothly as the steering turns. When they’re healthy, the steering feels light and positive, the cabin stays quiet over bumps, and tyres wear evenly.

Strut mounts age because the rubber insulator hardens and cracks, and the top bearing can dry out or pit. Common signs include clunks or creaks over speed humps, a knock you can feel through the steering, notchy or heavy steering at low speeds, and feathered or uneven tyre wear. If there’s visible perishing, corrosion around the mount, or a torn dust boot, it’s time for a closer look.

During routine servicing of a 2020 H6, it’s smart to check the mounts whenever front shocks, springs, or sway bar links are inspected. A quick bounce test, steering sweep (lock-to-lock while stationary), and a torch check around the strut tower can reveal play or binding. If the front struts are being replaced, fitting new mounts and bearings at the same time saves labour and helps the fresh dampers do their best work.

Replacement is straightforward for a trained tech: the strut comes out, the spring is safely compressed, and the mount is swapped. Always replace mounts in axle pairs, torque everything to spec from the workshop manual, and book a wheel alignment afterwards. Using quality components from known suppliers helps maintain ride comfort and steering feel.

There’s no fixed kilometre interval for strut mounts on the H6, as life depends on roads, loads, and climate. As a guide, many owners consider inspection from around 60,000–90,000 km, earlier if driving on coarse chip or corrugated roads. If the steering gets graunchy, clunks develop, or front-end tyre wear appears, don’t wait—have the mounts checked.

• Symptoms to watch: clunks/creaks, heavy or notchy steering, steering shudder on turn-in, uneven front tyre wear, or visible rubber cracking.
• Best practice: replace in pairs, align the wheels, and use the correct top bearing and insulator for the 2020 H6.

Popular questions about 2020 Haval H6 strut mounts

Do all 2020 Haval H6 models have strut mounts?
Yes—at the front. The 2020 H6 uses MacPherson front struts, which require a top mount and bearing. The rear is a multi-link setup and doesn’t use a MacPherson-style strut mount.

How long do strut mounts last on a 2020 H6?
It varies with driving and road conditions. Many last well past 80,000 km, but rough roads, heavy loads, or age-related rubber hardening can shorten their life. Any new noise, steering notchiness, or tyre wear is a cue to inspect.

Can worn strut mounts damage other parts?
They can. Excess play or a binding bearing can stress the strut, accelerate tyre wear, and affect steering components. Replacing tired mounts early helps protect shocks, springs, and tyres, and keeps the H6 driving nicely.
