Introduction
Often, through expected usage, an analog stick may become dislodged or misaligned on the DualShock 2 Wireless controller. This guide will show how to remove the faulty stick and realign it.
-
-
Remove the six 7.8 mm anchoring screws from the back casing of the controller using a Phillips #0 screwdriver.
-
-
-
Pull apart the outer casing by hand, or by using a plastic opening tool, from the bottom of the controller.
-
-
-
Remove the two 6.1 mm screws holding the internal analog stick board and the front of the controller together.
-
-
-
Lift the analog stick board away from the front of the controller.
-
Remove the detached or loose analog stick for realignment.
-
-
-
Realign the analog stick by pushing the removed stick back into its chassis with focus on pushing it in at the new, desired resting angle. You should feel or hear a small click if done correctly.

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.

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
