My Thrrustmaster Warthog base wore down and eventually had quite a bit of play in the gimbal. This set of STL files replaces the stock gimbal with one that uses Tamiya 1280 bearings, which are commonly available from hobby stores.
Bearing dimensions
Outer Diameter 12.0 mm
Bore 8.0 mm
Width 3.5 mm

Be careful to make sure that the wiring notch in the stick holder is on the wire side when installing to prevent damage to wires. Check that the wires are still free to move by unscrewing the connector on top, and moving the wires through the assembly.
2 - Install two bearings on the printed "inner g
