Replacing shock bushing with bearing

[themoon]

First time I had to replace bushing almost immediately after the purchase of the bike - it was sqeuaking a lot and cleaning it did not really help. Now, after 1100km of ride it began to squeak again... now cleaning it helped, but wonder for how long. Mechanic has advised to try bearings instead... has anyone tried it, or maybe can suggest where can I look for these?
Dimensions of the bushing is:

Width: 12.6 mm
Outer diameter: 15.23
Inner diameter: 12.94

Thanks Steve! Also wondering if anyone has already gone this route before on focus jam: bearings vs bushings seems to be a long standing debate...
