If your Logitech G X56 HOTAS Joystick (model 945-000058) feels too loose, unbalanced, or lacks resistance during movement, use this guide to replace the Joystick Tension Spring.
The tension spring provides mechanical resistance to the joystick’s pitch and roll movements. A worn or broken spring can result in a limp or overly sensitive stick, making precise control difficult during the flight simulation.
Before using this guide, try adjusting the spring system using the default spring tension adjustment feature. Before beginning, disconnect the joystick from all USB and power sources.
The spring is under mechanical tension, so use caution during removal or installation to prevent injury or component damage.
