Parts for your 2020 Haval H6-Sway bars & links

2020 Haval H6 sway-bars-&-links

Technical references confirm the 2020 Haval H6 is fitted with stabiliser (sway) bars and sway bar links front and rear. The Haval/GWM Service Manual for the 2017–2020 H6 platform details a MacPherson-strut front suspension with a front stabiliser bar and link rods, plus a rear multi-link setup with a rear stabiliser bar. The GWM Electronic Parts Catalogue (EPC) lists assemblies for the front and rear stabiliser bars, their bushes, and the link rods for 2020 H6 variants. Independent workshop databases such as Autodata/HaynesPro for AU/NZ markets also specify anti-roll (stabiliser) bars at both ends. That makes sway-bars-&-links fully relevant to the 2020 Haval H6.

On the H6, the sway bar is a torsion spring that ties the left and right suspension together to resist body roll. The links connect the bar to the control arm or strut, translating wheel movement into bar twist. The combo keeps the H6 flatter through corners, steadier in crosswinds, and more confident over bumpy rural roads.

For servicing, it’s smart to inspect the sway-bars-&-links at each service or at least every 20,000 km. Look for perished D‑bushes on the bar, torn link boots, rust or play at the ball studs, and any witness marks where the bar may be contacting the subframe. A quick road test often reveals tell‑tales: clunks over speed humps, a dull knock on driveway entries, more body roll than usual, or squeaks after rain.

Replacement is straightforward but benefits from the right approach. Replace links in pairs on the same axle, and lightly load the suspension before torquing to the factory spec in the service manual to avoid pre‑load. If the H6 sees plenty of gravel or coastal air, consider links with sealed metal‑to‑metal bearings or high‑quality polymer liners. Fresh D‑bushes are cheap and can sharpen steering feel, use the correct internal diameter for the bar and apply the specified silicone‑safe grease if required. Aftermarket polyurethane bushes can be crisper, but may add a touch of squeak if not greased correctly—OE rubber remains quiet and compliant.

After any sway bar work, a quick alignment check is wise, especially if other suspension components were loosened. A post‑service re‑torque after 500 km helps keep the H6 tight and rattle‑free.

• Service tip: avoid levering on the bar to lift the vehicle, use proper jacking points.
• If chasing less roll, uprated bars exist, but match front and rear rates to keep handling balance neutral.

Popular questions about 2020 Haval H6 sway-bars-&-links

Does the 2020 Haval H6 have front and rear sway bars?
Yes. The 2020 H6 uses a front stabiliser bar on its MacPherson-strut front end and a rear stabiliser bar on the multi-link rear. Both are connected by ball-jointed link rods. This setup trims body roll and helps the SUV feel planted in everyday driving.

How often should sway bar links be replaced on a Haval H6?
There’s no fixed interval, they’re replaced on condition. In Aussie and Kiwi conditions, many last well beyond 80,000–120,000 km. Replace when there’s play in the ball joints, torn boots, persistent clunks over bumps, or if the nuts won’t hold torque.

What symptoms suggest the H6’s sway bar bushes or links are worn?
Common signs include clunking over speed humps, excessive body roll, squeaks from the bar area, or a knock when entering driveways at an angle. Visual checks may show cracked D‑bushes or greasy, split link boots.
