My bearing was much the same as yours when it was taken out. It is a relief to not have the IMS worry, and I wonder if this is why the engine seems to run better? As for your rattle from the back over bumps, I had that too, which turned out to be the rear lower control arms. These seem to be a common problem, and they cost a bit but fortunately was done under warranty in my case. The OEM parts are expensive, but cheaper non-OEM arms are available on Ebay I think. Search this forum for more information, I believe you may be able to DIY.
