My Joy-Con keeps drifting — will replacing the analog joystick with this kit completely fix the drift?

After installing, my new joystick feels slightly stiffer than before — is this normal or is it defective?
A new joystick module will feel slightly stiffer than a worn original due to fresh internal components and spring tension. This stiffness reduces naturally after a few hours of normal use as the mechanism breaks in.
