I can have all bearings and seals for 30,-?... If I would buy prox swingarm and linkage bearing kit with bushings it would cost 130,-? and as we know bearings in those kits are some chinese sh.t...

It depends is the answer..
My experiences have shown the bearings tend to hold up really well if they have fresh grease periodically, in which case fresh grease again is all that's needed.
If the bearings have let go and you have binding, play etc, in most cases at least one bearing will have munched on the bushing and it becomes a replace the lot as a set experience.
I'd probably take the time to service the linkage, and depending on what you find then look at how you'll approach it.
