3230 come in very very infrequently compared to others with this issue.
And of course, no communication from HQ to anyone else, just follow warranty repair protocol.

When you refer to the clicks and ballbearings, are you referring to the former now being ceramic and the latter's increase in numbers (shown about 10-15 pages back in this thread)?
Even if done in complete secrecy (internal, even), any chance that either could have any impact on the issue, even if indirect in appearance?

Worst thing is that not all have the wear on the pivot, many don't even show signs of internal wear & tear yet won't reach 180 degrees of amplitude fully wound... I wish I could pinpoint the issue, but I'm stumped, it just doesn't make sense why they run so badly and some are not affected at all.

So, I guess a follow-up on my question above: Did the 2022-stamped DJ have the click/ballbearing updates?
Your observation would also suggest that the worn pivot is but an indirect symptom, rather than pivot friction in any way being the cause.
