Like HRL says drive it a bit & see how it sounds. If it is OK I would take off the nut & clean the threads up. Put some thread locker on it & snug it back up. Now would be a good time to replace the seal if it is leaking. Replace the grease if it hasn't been done recently & it will run a long time.
