Preclear larger replacement disk?

I'm on unRAID 6.19, and one of my data disks failed a SMART test. It's a 1.5TB disk, and I want to replace it with a new 4TB disk (same size as parity). I have already tested the new drive quite thoroughly using WD Digital Lifeguard Diagnostics.

 

Should I still run a preclear on the new disk before using it to replace the smaller one?
