Without sounding to  :ghey: a hot rearend is normal after driving it awhile. It wouldn't hurt to check the fluid level. Having it to hot to keep your fingers on is normal. There is alot of friction going on there, which builds heat.

But if it were a bad bearing, you'd hear a howl, right? Kinda like how my D35 howled for a couple months before the R&P took a shit  :smooch:

It would be a constant howl though correct? Or only at certain speeds?
