Actual side of socket might differ but this is the design: https://www.turnermotorsport.com/p-3...BoClUUQAvD_BwE
Don't quote me on this - but according to vorshlag a "loose" top nut will cause the bearing to move in directions it shouldn't (it should only spin on one axis), which can cause premature wear, and also noise.

But as you found, it could be the lack of lubrication, so these could be separate issues
