Free way hop...can be common with certain truck trailer combinations on certain well used concrete highways.
There is a whole list of things folks do to help their combinations. And what works on some does't effect others.

I fixed a chunking issue on on one of my 3500 DRW trucks by moving the trailers spring hangers aft by 2". The other four 350/3500 DRW trucks pulling the same trailer with no chunking issues before or after the axle move.
Good luck on your search as it can be a very aggravating problem to get a handle on.
