hello i was out messing with my bronco 2 it had just rained and i was out spinning around in the pasture. well after i was done i saw a little bit of steam and smoke (from the water and mud getting on it i suppose) and went to unlock the hubs. the smokeyness was commin from the driver side under the wheel weld. the passenger side was cool but then i went to the driver side and it was hot! it turned out of lock easy just the metal hub was hot. im not worried about it im just curious why it was hot and the passenger side wasnt? im just curious why it was hot in general? my explorer never has gotten that way. thanks

I would say severely overtightened (or fried) wheel bearing.
