Should I or shouldn't tear into the swing arm bearings!

Hey guys,
I am pretty sure what kind of feed back I'm about to get, but it might be what I need to just "getter done".
I have rebuilt the suspension (front forks, and rear shock) on the bike as well as regreased everything except the swing arm bearings.
I would like to just put it all back together and be done with it. I just don't want to have to go back to it latter because I got lazy. BUT, the swing arm moves smooth with no side to side movement. Which I was thinking is probably in good shape. On the other hand my shock link felt the same and when I pulled it apart it was dry and the needle bearings fell out all over the place.
So let me know what you guys think. Also if you have been there before and what happened.
Thanks, Jay

There are no short cuts, you have to do it. Plus, swing arm bolts have a tendency to seize so you need to get it out now and grease it.
