Just be wary that a used nut won't "lock" quite as well as a new one and they are known to work their way loose. Should be good to go now, just check the nut occasionally.

Will do. I couldn't find anywhere with a new nut, so threw a good amount of blue loctite. Hoping that will help. Going to take some short trips and make sure everything is holding up still.
