If the drift is bothersome and you can't fix with some tips from some youtube videos then yes, replace them.

Depends how bad I'd say and how it's affecting you in game.

 

I have pretty bad upwards drift on one in it's neutral position and a bit of slop. Didn't really notice before, however it's now creating false inputs in a game and causing me to select wrong items and options in menus. 

 

You can see it in the calibrate section of the settings.

 

I am probably going to try a hall effect replacement but they are a bit exxy.

 

It will only get worse though as it wears more so at the very least maybe order it in to allow for shipping and procrastination time.
