Well I've been subjected to having to listen this...
loud grinding metal-to-metal & squeaking noises coming from my boyfriend's xbox 360 thumb and analog stick.
On top of that... both sticks move pathetically slow compared to a newer controller I own.
How should I go about fixing this problem...?

If they're in that rough of shape replace them, or the whole controller if soldering isn't an option for you or him.
As far as the speed of them goes, you can use some sandpaper or a Dremel and make the opening in the shell for the sticks a tad bit larger and that should solve that issue if you want to leave the old ones in there.

Im 98% sure this is the correct part:

Im 98% sure this is the correct part:
They are, though at a little over $8 a pop before shipping and then having to do the work to replace them getting a used, or even a new, controller would be a much better option, but that is the correct part # at Mouser for anyone that's looking for them.
@ SweetIvy - If you opt for replacing the sticks check around in the Buy / Sell / Trade sections of some gaming forums, you'll get a lot better deal on a pair pulled from a controller that are still in excellent or like new shape for far less than what new ones would cost you, as well as the stick caps (the part you see and touch) to go with them, as the actual controller is the only place to get those, unless you go for some 3rd party type ones on eBay or the like, though I personally don't recommend them.

there only $2 a piece if you get 100 of them :) lol definately get em used... buy some broken controllers or something, and without a solder sucker (http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2062745) or a heat gun (http://www.amazon.com/Kawasaki-840015-Black-10-Piece-Heat/dp/B000H4I67I/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=hi&qid=1275941189&sr=1-1) it will be hard to remove them
