Well I heard a little noise but dont have the decompressor for video. Generally the IRS rear bearings will go over 150K if not touched, but last forever if lubed every 60K or so. The fact that your nut was tight was a GOOD thing... generally if something was going bad in there it would be chocking around. Id do a full relube now, it needs to be done and youll find anything wrong at the same time. Look for any signs of movement or chocking.
