UPDATE:

After reading Luccia's post, I thought about it and agreed. So, I ordered a bearing and axle nut from Pelican Parts last week and they arrived here in Florida a day early (WTG Pelican and your shipping partner)! I pulled the wheel carrier out of the Boxster yesterday. Now that it's off the drive axle, I've found that there's (lateral) play between the hub and the carrier that I couldn't detect when it was on the axle. Pretty sure it's the bearing that's causing that awful sound in the YouTube video. It's so weird because that's not your typical bearing sound. Regardless, the bearing needs replaced and so the carrier is in a local machine shop where they're pressing out the old bearing and pressing in the new one. Hope to have everything back together either tonight or tomorrow. Will report back to share whether or not this fixed my issue. Thank you everyone for your input!
