left analog stick is becoming increasingly squeaky

Hello,

My Dual Shock 2 is still working well after all these years! However, the left analog stick is becoming increasingly squeaky, and has begun to stick on rare occasion, but still functions near perfectly 99.9% of the time. Is there a simple trick to loosen the stick, and perhaps any buttons such as square and X, to prevent squeaking and sticking, using a household lubricant product such as WD 40?

Thank you,
Daniel McNamara

Hi Daniel!

First I would try to clean everything in there.

You can just use a wet cloth and clean it (make sure that the cloth is not too wet!).

For the stick, you could use ispropryl alcohol and clean it and see if that makes a difference!

If not, then you might want to replace the stick (worst case).

Please let us know how it goes and good luck!
