    Just leave it till you get play, or noise from it - famous saying - "if its not broke, dont fix it!"

    You may need to service it sometime. The lower bearing tends to get muck and water in it especialy if you do not use mudguards. Keep it clean and lubricated and it will last for years.

    The bottom bearings will need cleaning and re-greasing without a doubt, they take all the punishment being down by the wheel.
    It is best to strip it all down to do it properly, make a note of how it all fits together though.
    If you wait until you get play or noise it is too late :(
