hot prop shaft

give it a crack, cant be anythin too serious i wouldnt think... worst case would be heat from the transfer box, but obviously if thats the case you'll only have heat at one end? god knows... see what you find :)

extreme90:
has the landy got a lift ?
if it has, the u'js will be close to there max operatinng angle which wil cause excessive heat build up,

also have you checked any of the radius arm bush's ect to make sure the axle isnt floating around (up/down) which will be changing the pinion angle, which is just like lifting the landy, makes the u/j's work at funny angles
