Based on Andy's post in this thread and what I read in the the first thread of my earlier post, the tube of grease looks like the right thing, but I figured that Andy would weigh in, since he is the subject matter expert on the sticks in question.

P.S. Amazon also carries Super Lube.
Edit:
After closely reviewing the two threads linked in my earlier post, it looks like the silicone spray in a can is for noise like creaking springs, while the heavy silicone grease in a tube is for smooth movement at the pivot point.
Am I correct in this interpretation?
Los Abrazos Rotos:
Super lube is a bit harder to find in the uk, I found something similar at Maplin so hopefully it will work. These U360s are a pain in the ass!
Los Abrazos Rotos:
Ok, silicone lubed the stick. It does return to the centre better but I still have the same problem. There is an area around the centre the joystick sticks and doesnt go quite back to centre, meaning that for instance on my desktop if i move my arrow left release the stick the arrow continues moving left. Kinda annoying. Any ideas how to get round this problem?

Hope it's not this one.

It's not silicone based, and could cause the plastic to break down.
