I would still get under there and check all the joints. Sometimes the difference in the road surface can make enough of a difference that you will notice a vibration more than others. Plus if it is a tie rod end or something any bump may be enough to get it started wobbling whereas the smooth road will let it ride without getting started. I've never had any body flexing issues with the cab on mine. The only thing close is a popping and grinding that we had on an OBS PSD bucket truck where I used to work and that was the fender bolts. You usually only get that when you're really flexing things like pulling onto the apron of a parking lot or something. You don't feel that as much as hearing it too.
