I can't imagine why - the Fastway OneStep is designed to actually chock the trailer and prevent it from rolling away, just as is the BAL Standard Tire Locking Chock, not to reduce wiggle as you walk around inside the trailer. The BAL X-Chock, despite it's name is not a "chock" at all but rather is designed to minimize this suspension wiggle by preventing the tires from rotating on their axis. As you've noted yourself X-Chocks loosen considerably as the tires cool, ergo the reason Norco includes a note in every box of X-Chocks warning that it not be used as a "parking brake". Many do anyway but it's tough to fix stupid. :W
