Merry fucking Xmas to you assholes
You actually want the 668 Enduro Max bearings https://cycling.endurobearings.com/products/688-llu-max for that or the equivalent NTN/SKF full complement bearings.

Yeah that’s what I’ve been looking at, I think…
Au Rocky distro isn’t interested.
I think I bought these from Pushys last time around.

Any half-decent bearing shop should be able to provide you those, more than likely on the shelf. They don't need to be 'Enduro' brand, just a decent quality SKF/NTN/FAG bearing. Full complement bearing means they're stuffed with balls, not spread out in a cage which improves load handling so are what you want.
Hard to tell but it looks like corrosion and contamination. Quality bearing is a start.

The evidence would suggest not.
If it pivots smoothly and easily without the shock in place that will give you a good starting point. Then see if you can twist the triangles relative to one and other.
Bearings snug in frame?

Have they offered any suggestions as to why this may be happening?
I have only had pivot bearing issues (on a pivot funnily enough) once on a second hand frame. The replacements solved the issue.

They suggested what I wrote above. The bearings only measure 16x8x5, with the exception of the MP, and are mostly pressed in to raw carbon. Wouldn’t take much side loading to make a mess.
I think it’s just a poorly designed/ made frame, it’s certainly not as well made as my 2 previous bikes (I got 2 years out of the 5010s bearings).

Bearings ain't bearings unfortunately...
I was once in a similar pinch and bought Japanese "KSM" bearings for a wheel... Got 2 weeks out of them before they flogged out... The NTN that replaced them are still going years later.
The worst part is I knew they'd be shit and hated myself for buying them...
