I Already own 2 saitek throttle quadrant who works great , and saitek rudder predals no problems yet. Any suggestion are welcome but The Warthog and the x65 cos the price is too much for my taste.

Thats a bummer!
I have an X52 pro too and have had it since they came out 5 years ago with no wire problem you mention, and ive logged 1000's of hours on it too.
With the magnet mod i did a couple years ago I find it really accurate. It maybe worth fixing again as I tried an X65 and Warthog and didnt like the feel of either of them!
Are the wires too tight or something, it sounds really strange to have that problem? I'll take a pic of mine so you can see the wire path in case its something to do with how your assembling it.
And heres the hall sensor magnet mod. Removed the magnet carrier and put them both together on a piece of stiff wire and then used a gasket silicon to hold them in place while i calibrated for centres.
The silicon is now firm and wont let them move but I can still adjust centering by moving the stiff wire gently left or right. This mod makes the joystick able to do smooth concentric circles instead of elipses so its more accurate and also seems more responsive.
