I felt the ends of the front driveshafts on my FWD car, where they're bolted

How hot is normal? These were almost too hot to touch. I wonder if most of
the heat comes from the wheel bearings or the brakes, transmission etc.

By comparison the rears were only warm to the touch.




It depends how fast you've just braked.
