Parts for your 2022 Haval H6-Steering bushes

2022 Haval H6 steering-bushes: what’s actually fitted and what to service

For the 2022 Haval H6, “steering bushes” aren’t a separate, serviceable item. Technical references show the H6 uses a rack-and-pinion electric power steering (EPS) unit that bolts to the front subframe without distinct, replaceable rack-mount rubber bushes. The steering column is supported by bearings rather than traditional rubber or polyurethane bushes. This setup is confirmed by OEM sources, including the GWM/Haval H6 (Third Generation, 2021–) Workshop Manual in the Steering (EPS) section and the GWM Electronic Parts Catalogue (EPC) for Group 34 Steering, which list the steering gear as a complete assembly and don’t break out rack-mount bushes as individual parts. Trade data providers for the 2021– H6 platform also describe an integrated EPS rack design.

Why no steering bushes? Modern EPS racks are engineered to control NVH and precision within the rack assembly and its rigid mounts, improving steering feel and reducing compliance. Any isolation required is handled by design elements within the rack or through adjacent chassis components, rather than separate rubber bushes that can be swapped on their own.

If the steering feels vague, pulls, or knocks over bumps, the likely culprits on a 2022 H6 are elsewhere: inner and outer tie rod ends, front lower control arm bushes, sway bar (stabiliser) D-bushes and links, strut top mounts, wheel bearings, or even tyre wear and pressures. EPS-related calibration or column universal joints can also affect feel.

Good practice for servicing a 2022 H6 steering system is to inspect the following every service or 20,000 km: free play at the steering wheel, tie rod end wear, front control arm bushes for splits or fluid loss (if hydro-filled), sway bar bushes/links for play, and tyre condition/alignment. If there’s a clunk on steering input, check column U-joints and subframe/rack fastener torque. Any excessive play or noise from the rack itself typically means repairing or replacing the rack assembly rather than fitting bushes.

So, while “steering bushes” won’t show up as a part number for this model, a thorough steering and front-end check will sort the same symptoms people usually blame on bushes. That keeps the H6 pointing straight and feeling tidy on Aussie and Kiwi roads.

Technical references consulted: GWM/Haval H6 (Third Generation, 2021–) Workshop Manual – Steering (EPS) overview and service procedures, GWM Electronic Parts Catalogue (EPC) – Group 34 Steering, industry vehicle data for H6 (2021–) platform noting integrated EPS rack construction.

• Inspect steering and front-end components every 20,000 km or annually.
• Prioritise tie rods, control arm bushes, sway bar bushes/links, alignment, and tyre condition.
• Rack mounting and column support are not serviced via separate bushes on this model.

FAQs

Does the 2022 Haval H6 have steering bushes I can replace?
No. The H6 runs an integrated electric power steering rack that mounts to the subframe without separate, replaceable rack-mount bushes. The column is supported by bearings, not rubber bushes.

What should be checked if my H6 has vague steering or a front-end knock?
Start with inner/outer tie rod ends, front lower control arm bushes, sway bar D-bushes and links, strut top mounts, and wheel alignment/tyres. Also inspect the column U-joints and confirm the rack/subframe fasteners are correctly torqued.

Can I fit aftermarket steering bush kits to firm up the feel?
Aftermarket “rack bush” kits aren’t relevant for the 2022 H6 EPS design. For a tighter feel, focus on quality tyres, correct pressures, fresh alignment, and replacing any worn tie rods, control arm bushes, and sway bar components.
