| If the joystick stiffness is not your preference and affects your gameplay, use this guide to remove and replace your tension spring. |
| 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. |
